Oakton Music Students Hit a High Note
Three Oakton Community College students will continue their music studies this fall at Illinois State University and Western Michigan University.
Chica Cabalona of Morton Grove earned her associate's degree in music this spring and will pursue music studies at ISU, majoring in music therapy. Cabalona played with Oakton's popular Six Piano Ensemble and will be joined at ISU by Chris Williams of Park Ridge, another Oakton student who plans to major in music composition. Katy Jacobs of Skokie is headed for WMU in Kalamazoo to major in voice. Jacobs also has been active in Oakton's theater department, most recently in the casts of Trojan Women and Alice in Wonderland.
"I am proud that Oakton's music program has helped these students transfer to universities that will continue to cultivate their talents," says Glenna Sprague, chair of Oakton's music department. "All three are hard workers who will find success in their musical endeavors."
Oakton's music program offers classes in theory and applied instruction and follows closely with the Illinois Articulation Initiative curriculum for music majors, easing the transition between Oakton and other four-year institutions. Fall music classes start Aug. 20.
