Brandon profile

“Every time I visited Pacific, it seemed like such an inviting and welcoming place. And now that I’m here as a student on the other side of that, it’s clear to me that it was authentic.”

Academics

"The Music program at Pacific introduced me to so many other areas within music.

Branching out into different areas has shown me that I'll probably end up doing something slightly different in my career than what I thought I was going to.”

Activities

"We got to play in Carnegie Hall and work with some of the composers of the pieces we were playing. Taking a trip with all our friends and closest musicians to perform together felt like an introduction into the world of a gigging musician.”

Life At Pacific

“I came to the weeklong summer music camp, and that was such a great experience”

Q:

What made you choose Pacific to continue your music career?

A:

“Pacific came up on my radar because it has a really good music education program with a great job placement rate. One of my directors in high school went here and had great things to say about it. Then later I came to the weeklong summer music camp and I got to work with some of the faculty, and that was such a great experience.”

Getting Involved

“The teachers are really encouraging, and they’re great at connecting music education with the conducting side of things. I’m not just learning my instrument for the sake of performing it; I’m also learning how to connect it to my career goals.”

“If you’re willing to branch out, you'll end up finding new people and learning things about yourself that you didn't expect. That’s been really wonderful for me.”
