Listen "DMA or PhD? Wait, You Can Get a Doctorate in Art?"
Episode Synopsis
“So… you’re getting a doctorate? In art?” I’ve heard that question more times than I can count. In this episode, I explore the winding path of pursuing a doctoral degree in music—DMA vs. PhD, research vs. performance, idealism vs. reality. Some do it for the title, some to save the world (maybe?), and some like me, just try to survive the confusion. Set to my piece “Shadow of Water,” this is a reflective dive into the shimmering blur between academia and creativity.
