Dr. Worman Conducts The Trinity University Wind Ensemble
A Thank you to our new host, the Music Department at Trinity University Department of Music, David Heller D.M.A, and James Worman, Ph.D.
Founded by the Presbyterian Church in 1869, Trinity values learning, service, and connection to others, honoring the dignity and worth of every person. Our institutional values include Discovery, Excellence, and Inclusion.
Home to more than 2,500 students, Trinity is guided by a mission and set of values that place the student experience at its core. As a community that both honors our past and shapes our future, we strive to live our values in everything we do.
Trinity offers both a B.A. in Music (conducive for a double major) and a B.M. in performance, composition, or music education. The fifth-year Master of Arts in Teaching—recently ranked 7th in the nation—allows music education majors to receive both the B.M. and M.A.T. in five years.
