Ep. 34 - "One Year in the Rearview Mirror, Part II" with Andrea Bush & Julia Ortiz-Luis
<p>On this episode of the podcast, I continue my conversation with recent graduates of NYU Steinhardt, talking about what their first year out of school has been like for them. Here, I speak with Julia Ortiz-Luis and Andrea Bush, both of whom graduated with a MM in Vocal Performance (Musical Theatre) and an Advanced Certificate in Vocal Pedagogy. Talking to them was such a great reminder to me of how our students—who often have boots on the ground in a different way than we do—can continue to teach us.
