“In recent years the Eastman School has
dedicated itself to preparing its graduates for the music world of tomorrow; not merely
so that they can respond to it, but so they can actively shape and influence it.
Whileit is now apparent that the
traditional music careers
of the past are stable and holding, they are not growing. However, opportunities abound for the
enterprising and well-educated musician. “
James Undercofler, Director and Dean, Eastman School of Music
