Music and Education!
Diamond is currently a student of Dr. Christopher Butler. He is a member of the Marching Salukis, SIU Wind Ensemble, and SIU Percussion Ensemble.
My dream job is to be able help others harness their musical talents. Hopefully one day I will be able to make a career out of doing something I love and helping others.
The School of Music was a huge factor in my final decision [to attend SIU], and also that fact that it was close to home. Music has been a big variable in my life, and the kind staff at SIU's School of Music had a major influence on my decision to major in music education. I would have to say that my favorite aspect of SIU would be the campus livelihood.
