Meet Our Faculty
In memoriam:
Joan Krueger, Assistant Professor of Music
The Conservatory of Music mourns the loss of our dear friend and beloved colleague Joan Krueger. A well-known and much sought after vocal coach, Joan coached our students privately, taught graduate classes in Opera Styles, and prepared the freshman class for Italian scenes for 17 years. A memorial service will be held in the fall (information will be posted on Facebook).
