Thanks!

On a personal note, I'll add that not only is John a KILLER tubist and a great teacher and all-around super guy, this gig will allow someone to be in a brand-new state-of-the-art music building with amazing facilities; if it's not the very best in the US, it's definitely in the conversation. Also, UIowa is hosting ITEC in 2019, and being behind the scenes for that event is going to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Someone get on this!

Thanks Josh!

I should also mention that we just started a new program this year. Instead of writing a thesis, DMA candidates at the University of Iowa Voxman School of Music now have the option to make a professional quality recording. Please contact me privately if you have any questions. Thank you,
