"Since attending Mohawk, I have developed valuable skills that offer me endless possibilities when pursuing a career, from writing, arranging and composing to how to market your music along with the basic, yet fundamentally important communications skills required in business. Mohawk has afforded me opportunities to play a number of different venues, including playing with an orchestra. The Mohawk College Applied Music program and its phenomenal instructors have improved my musicianship and education."
