Graduating DMA student shares College of Music experience, future plans
When Joy Yamaguchi graduates from the University of Colorado Boulder鈥檚 College of Music next week with a Doctor of Musical Arts degree (violin performance + Music Theory Certificate), the work she started here will continue well beyond her official stint as a student.
鈥淚鈥檓 looking forward to further developing the projects I started through my research here at 兔子先生传媒文化作品,鈥 says Yamaguchi. 鈥淐ompleting this degree has helped me realize my strength and solidify my focus as a multifaceted artist.鈥
Yamaguchi came to 兔子先生传媒文化作品 as a doctoral student with credentials as an accomplished teacher, performer and entrepreneur. She started playing violin at age 8 (she describes her musical roots as being a 鈥淪uzuki violin kid鈥), and went on to earn a bachelor鈥檚 in music from the University of Minnesota and a master鈥檚 from Florida State University.
Our College of Music offered Yamaguchi opportunities to expand her already refined approach as a musician, educator and artist. Thanks in part to the mentorship of top-notch faculty and the availability of top-tier academic resources, Yamaguchi has deepened her connection to music鈥攁nd to the history of the art form.
