I was looking for a place that was not only going to allow me to expand my knowledge, but would also be affordable on my current teaching salary. I feel like I was given a real-world education at USD. The tailored program fits the typical public or private school music teacher and I can honestly say each and every assignment has been taken directly back to my classroom and implemented.
