How Augustana’s music program has impacted me

Deciding to continue in music through my undergraduate studies has led to wonderfully rewarding experiences. I’ve played the violin since age 6; leaving the instrument behind would have been a major change in my life. Participating in music and the orchestra at Augustana has done wonders for my playing ability and connected me with excellent mentorship, outstanding opportunities, and remarkable new peers and friends.
