    The Music School at Racmaninoff College of Fine Arts was established to prepare students to be music teachers, choir directors, conductors, or professional musicians (about 30% of the students follow a program of music specialization with a focus on entering a conservatory).

    The school offers the following courses: music theory, practicum, instrument specialization, orchestra, ensembles, literature, philosophy, and pedagogical studies.  (English is an elective and not seriously stressed).

    Special Thanks:
    Thank you Raquel Kangas for kindly agreeing to host my visit to Novgorod.  A potential "fly-by" turned into a special added treat, two schools visited, a TV interview, interesting sites visited, some good meals, lucky connections for the road after Novgorod, and a new friend.  I wish you the best as you complete your Peace Corps service and in your quest to continue service to Russians in Russia.
