St. Mary’s has an absolutely wonderful music department. It is at once progressive (many professors composing and performing contemporary works, the latter often commissioned specifically for them - [(ie Jeffrey Jacob playing George Crumb)] and traditional in a very caring, nuturing sense. Your daughter will be free to take classes at ND, and will have ND students in her classes as well, but she will not need to venture off SMC’s campus to find some of the absolute best classical music instruction, pedagogy, etc. in the country. It is truly a hidden gem, and the students in the music department are a close, supportive group. The campus is both serene and vibrant once everyone is back in the fall, brimming over with young women who are so happy to be at a place that exists to support their every dream. Best of luck, and I hope that she chooses SMC!
