ALUMNI
The Alumni of the Department of Music at UW-La Crosse have proven themselves to be magnificently successful educators, performers and scholars. Former music students such as American Idol finalist Reed Grimm demonstrate the depth and quality of our instruction. Numerous alumni have pursued careers in higher education including Jerod Sommerfeldt, (2006) now serves as Assistant Professor of Electronic Music Composition and Theory at SUNY-Potsdam and Jennifer Iverson (Piano Pedagogy, 2004) currently teaching theory at the University of Chicago. Our students study abroad in areas such as Ghana, England, Australia and Spain and our placement rate for Music Education graduates is close to 100%. Many of our music education students are currently successfully teaching in prestigious districts around the state as well as in South America and Saudi Arabia.
