It says it right on the USC Thornton School of Music's website - "Our mission is defined by the pursuit of musical excellence, collaboration, and support. Students thrive as artists, performers, educators, and professionals as the school prepares them for successful careers." Between three classes this semester at the University of Southern California, I was in the classroom with more than 100 students who grew up in many parts of the country and abroad, teaching them about areas of the music business that I never get tired of talking about! Thank you to all of the guests who attended my classes this semester to provide the students with your valuable insight and advice: Annie Aberle, Steven Gringer, David Nieman, Rob Levin, J Scavo, Anna Savage, Nicole Poulos, Ari Herstand, Micki Stern, Greg Sieme, David Streit and Tyler Johnson. #FightOn ✌ 📚
Thanks for a great semester, Professor! There wasn’t a single class you led without a passion that inspired me to learn more about the world of music and sports.
These students are super lucky to have you Joe Poindexter.
