“My experiences within the Tabor Music Department have caused me to grow both as a musician and as a person. The professors and staff that work within the music department truly invested their time and talents in my life. Because of this I emerged a stronger student and more professional than I had ever thought possible. I have also gained friendships of peers and professors that I will never forget.” – Jennifer (Hope) Chlumsky (g’06), Coronado Elementary, Salina, KS
