Students share how their Creative Consultants have further prepared them for a career in the arts.
Luke offered me the opportunity to conduct Sleigh Ride with the WV Symphony! I also watched the rehearsals, and it was amazing to be a part of it and soak it in. The conducting lessons are really helping a lot. He’s teaching me about working with a group professionally and giving me tips on how to listen more, and I’m trying to learn the role as a leader. He’s helped me a lot with learning new music and learn what to listen to.

Kate is a working artist. Our meetings are about how to navigate the business side of art. I have a ton of information from her – art business, taxes, how to make contracts, super important stuff I hadn’t even thought about.

Amanda is amazing! We worked on building my CV, getting published writing out, album reviews, revamping my website and adding a blog post page, and building proposals for different conferences which resulted in me being invited to give a 50-minute talk at the Philadelphia Flute Society this spring!
