The Yamaha Institution of Excellence program has included the UNT College of Music
in its inaugural list of 10 distinguished colleges and universities recognizing extraordinary
commitment to innovation in the study of music. “These schools rise to the level of
exceptional academic leadership that first inspired Yamaha to introduce this vital
program and we are eager to join with them in a shared mission,” said Dan Rodowicz,
senior director, Institutional Sales, Yamaha. According to John W. Richmond, dean
of UNT’s College of Music, “We are thrilled to be included in Yamaha’s inaugural class
of Institutions of Excellence and are eager to evolve our relationship with Yamaha
Corporation of America (YCA) from a transactional one to a collaborative one. We envision
collaborations across domains in music performance, music technology, music education,
music production/distribution, instrument design/engineering/testing, music business
and musicians’ health. We believe this new way of work to be enlightened and momentous.
We can’t wait to get started!”
