Students audition to en- ter the program, are reviewed by the faculty when sophomores, complete an oral exam as juniors, and give a full recital as a senior. MUSIC - Graduate Profile - Dr. Diane DeNicola Cedarville paved the road of success for Dr. Diane De Nicola, a Music Education major. "I learned well-rounded skills at Cedarville... it aca- demically challenged me in my field so that when I went on to receive higher degrees, a Ph.D. at Florida State, I found that the teaching at Cedarville really provided me with the foundation." Dr. De Nicola, presently a music professor at Troy State University,felt that her professorscul- tivated confidence in her to pursue graduate education. In reference to Dr. Matson she said, "tie was my spiritual and academic mentor and to a part he still is." "While the department might be small," she added,"it still serves a very vital function;and it does it well." Dr. De Nicola has earned respect from the Cedarville Music faculty and her peers at Troy State University.
