Hayes School of Music

The 2015-16 academic year has begun at ASU. Auditions for the Hayes School of Music's ensembles conclude today (mostly), and classes are up and running. We have three full weeks this year before Labor Day, so we'll build up significant momentum before that holiday.

Colleagues,

Please read through these items regarding the upcoming academic year. I look forward to seeing everyone very soon in room 225!

Today, we're back in normal operations after the excitement of Friday's ceremonies and celebrations to install Dr. Sheri Everts as Appalachian's seventh Chancellor.  (See kudos for details about the HSoM's involvement.)  In these last two weeks of classes, there are performances by individual students and ensembles every night of the week and many on the weekend, as well.  Additionally, students are working on final projects, including master's thesis defenses, presentations, and preparations for performance juries and final exams.
