I’m currently going for my Doctorate (D.M.A.) at Five Towns College in Dix Hills, Long Island. I’ll also be instructing some jazz guitar majors at the
college this fall.
Reasons for jazz students to think about Five Towns College:
- It offers Jazz/Commercial Music Bachelors, Masters, and Doctoral Degrees in areas such as performance and composition. Music Education and Sound Recording programs are strong there as well.
- Great location…about 45 minutes from NYC, jazz capital of the world.
- Its faculty members have recording and performing careers, such as saxophonist Felipe Salles, percussionist Bryan Carrott and well-respected guitar master Peter Rogine. Chuck Mymit, author of several Berklee theory books, is a professor also. Faculty members are accessible and helpful and occasionally try to bring students to their performances, recordings, and rehearsals.
- Visiting guest artists…a few months ago the college had legend Don Grusin as an artist-in-residence for workshops and a performance. Grammy winning flutist Dave Valentin was also at the college recently.
- Frequent faculty/student jazz jams.
- The college has a state-of-the-art performing arts center - an outstanding venue for both national acts & student performances.
