Teaching
The College of Musical Arts is also home to the Mid-American Center for Contemporary Music, and is one of only two institutions in North America that offers a Doctor of Musical Arts degree in Contemporary Music Performance. The opera department, headed by Toledo Opera's Kevin Bylsma, offers two fully staged operas with orchestra annually, as well as scenes programs, student-composed and -produced MicroOperas, workshops, master classes, and other events.
Dr. Rodgers is available for private consultations and group workshops by appointment, when schedule allows.
