Christopher T. F. Hanson, music theory and orchestra teacher:
"My greatest accomplishments as a teacher have been the sense of enlightenment and intellectual freedom expressed by my students after taking one of my courses. In music theory I frequently hear students exclaim, 'I never realized that is why we do that!' or, 'So that explains where that comes from.' I passionately believe that the study and performance of music dramatically affects how a person understands and experiences the world."
