Howard Hall closed for Summer 2013

This summer, Howard Hall is undergoing a "seismic retrofit." As a result, the building will be closed until July 31st. In the meantime, you can find Kim, Whitney, and Joe in 216 Haynes Hall.

Also, since the instructors will be away from their phones during the summer, email would be the best way to contact them. All of their contact information can be found at http://www.montana.edu/music/faculty.

Have a great summer!
