[Vabs] SCHOOLS IN VA

[C. J. Fish]

Hi,

I have a B.A. in piano performance from Mount Olive College, but that is in 
NC.  I can tell you that George Mason University has a wonderful program, 
since I started my master's in piano performance/pedagogy there a few years 
ago.  Also, I know a few students in the Virginia Commonwealth University 
(VCU) program here in Richmond, but I confess I do not know much about that 
program or how it works for blind/visually impaired students.  I also have 
looked into Radford University and Shenandoah Conservatory in the past, but 
I have never been there.  The only one I can give personal account for is 
GMU.  Let me know if you have any specific questions or would like any 
guidance as far as contacts.  I would be glad to help.  I definitely think 
that having the degree I have helped me with teaching.  Potential students 
and especially parents of students always ask about my degree/if I have one, 
and I would even say it has gotten me more students than I had before I got 
my degree.  Hope this helps.

C. J. Fish
