University of Iowa

Well team,
it is unofficially official. We are going to the University of Iowa for the DMA (Doctorate of Musical Arts). The unofficial part is that I have been offered a verbal agreement, but have yet to sign a contract, but that should change in about a week or so.

This is how it is going to go down:
The Iowa Performance Fellowship guaratees funding for three years. One of the years requires no duties, and the other two years, you must perform some other kind of TA duties. Apparently, I have been offered a jazz TA, so I will fulfill that the first year, then have my fellowship year the second year, and the trombone assistantship the third year.

This is an amazing situation for us. We are excited for the move, the new opportunities, and the beginning of the end of school!
