I chose Pacific because of their amazing music education program as well as their 100% job placement. The sense of community was immediate, and I was able to make lifelong friendships. My professors were always there to push and encourage me to be a well-rounded musician for myself and my students. Every skill that I learned at Pacific I was able to apply immediately to my job as a music teacher.

I’ve enjoyed my time at Pacific. Going into classrooms and teaching has been an extremely helpful experience. I’m happy that I got that opportunity early on in college, so I could make sure it was what I wanted to do.
