2021 UPDATE from Noah Rousseau:

“Thank you for your email. I am continuing my degree in music education at Rhode Island College. This year has been quite different while having to take all my classes online at home. Despite this not being the ideal college experience, it has nonetheless given me important experience teaching online, as I have been teaching elementary music online for one of my classes. I probably would not have had this opportunity if not for the pandemic. I am glad to see the light at the end of the tunnel as I am approaching my semester of student teaching next year. I look forward to the opportunity to return to interacting with students in person once again and most especially to return to creating music together as a community and a family. Thank you so much for helping me to accomplish all I have done so far in my college career so far as well as to come! Best wishes.” - Noah Rousseau
