Tuba Assistantship
Posted: Tue Aug 21, 2012 11:11 am
I know this is early but with the New Mexico Philharmonic season scheduling becomes difficult. Please note that in addition to the assistantship there will be openings and scholarships available for both undergraduate and graduate tuba and euphonium. Thanks for taking time to read this post. I am looking forward to talking with all interested applicants. rawhite@unm.edu" target="_blank
