I never want to make a hard sell to a student, but if there was ever a time to be in school, this is the time to be in school... Students need training to be ready for the world in the way that it’s changed. And it’s likely that many of these changes are going to be permanent, or very long-term. - Dean Keller Coker in a JazzTimes feature on how teachers are adapting to pass on the art form by any means necessary. --------- #CollegeofPeformingArtsAtTheNewSchool: Mannes School of Music The School of Jazz and Contemporary Music The School of Drama The New School
