Meet our Sacred Music Students

Students come to Notre Dame from all over the United States and the world, and they go on to DMA programs, PhD programs and all kinds of music positions.  Professor Craig Cramer has been teaching organ at Notre Dame for over thirty years--to undergrads, Master's degree students, and more recently MSM's. He has a placement record of 98%!  With the coming of our DMA (first class admitted in Fall, 2013), our community will grow even larger and more varied. Please meet some of our current students below:
