Maria Seffrin
Major: Music Education and Clarinet Performance
Hometown: Tabernacle, New Jersey
Expected Graduation: 2019Why did you decide to attend West Chester University?
Deciding to attend West Chester was easy for me. I came from a school in South Jersey where all of my directors were alumni of West Chester and they not only were great teachers but they were great musicians as well. I knew that I wanted that education. I wanted to be able to do what they did as well as they did it. I didn't really take a lot of time to consider New Jersey in-state schools because while they had great music programs, I wanted to be a great musician and a great teacher. When I entered my junior year of high school, being so in love with the university, I decided to arrange a lesson with Dr. Dannessa and that was when I made up my mind because she is just wonderful. -

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum. -
