About Sean William Calhoun
I am currently a sophomore Composition/Theory major studying at the Blair School of Music at Vanderbilt University. My composition instructors have been Dr. Paul Deakin, Dr. Michael Slayton, Dr. Stan Link, Dr. Michael Rose, and Dr. Michael Kurek. My piano instructors have been Mr. Roland Schneller and Ms. Amy Dorfman. My favorite composers include Ralph Vaughan Williams, Maurice Ravel, John Ireland, J.S. Bach, and Johannes Brahms.
Outside of music, I am a fan of Brandon Sanderson's fantasy novels (and also a fan of the Wheel of Time).
