[Vabs] SCHOOLS IN VA

Cj,
so you teach piano? I thought you finished at Marymount university in 
arlington with a counseling degree at the grad level.
If not, did you finish and which degree? Hope you enjoy teaching or whatever 
job you're doing now.
That isn't related to counseling if that i s what you are doing. But not 
everyone uses their masters degree.

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.
