Ihere are many peifoimanceoptionsavailable to students at Temple University, and they don ' t need to be theater, music or dance majors to take advantage of them. As senior Becky Bordo pointed out, there are different paths available through the school. Students can be a part of the main stage productions or various student-run productions throughout the year. The ability to choose is not the only advantage offered in the School of Communications and Theater. The amazing faculty provides each student with training and mentorship, Bordo said. Temple ' s music department features an orchestra and four different choirs, which are also open for participation from students in all majors. Every year in March, all four choirs and the orchestra combine for a massive concert at the Kimmel Center in Center City. The 2008 performance featured classic pieces by Mozart and Mussorgsky. The music school is also home to a National Opera Association award-winning opera program. Graduate student Christian Bowers said, The things I like about the opera program are my voice teacher Dr. William Stone and the stage director Laura Johnson. I like the teachers and the classes that they offer. The dance program at the Ester Boyer College of Music and Dance also features performances throughout the year and is consistently ranked among the top programs in the country. The program offers a bachelor of fine arts, a master of education or fine arts and a doctor of philosophy all in dance. Temple ' s stellar fine arts programs are certainly a place where all students can participate and enjoy expressing themselves.
