Student Story

My passion and drive to succeed in this music industry has only been fueled and encouraged by my program at Fredonia. The incredible support system that I have at school with my colleagues in the Music Industry program also pushes me to work hard. It’s all about connections and Fredonia has given me the skills and connections I will need in my future career.
