2019 / Bachelor of Arts - Music
“The music program is led by passionate and creative professors that make classes fun and engaging. I am now running my own music studio in Lacombe where I teach piano, voice, and theory lessons. Burman University’s Music Program gave me the tools to feel confident in passing my knowledge on to those I teach.”
