The philosophy behind the Robert McDuffie Center for Strings in Mercer University’s Townsend School of Music is that success in today’s music professions requires skills beyond the major. |

In addition to receiving conservatory-level instrumental training and music study, Center students will be able to select from a wide range of extra-musical academic specializations. Among a broad base of liberal arts courses, additional areas of study will focus on the practical application of the arts in contemporary society such as New Media – creative use of media in promotion and marketing; English – a communications course in public speaking and writing; and Business – specialized courses in business management for the musician. All of this extra-musical training assists students in working toward the goal of individualized arts management. Modeled by the faculty, the Center encourages its young musicians to engage with all aspects of the 21st century performing arts world. The present environment is challenging to navigate, yet bursting with opportunity for the imaginative, entrepreneurial artist. |
