Waubonsee Voices
by Dr. Mark Lathan, Assistant Professor of Music
Waubonsee Voices is a monthly column written by a Waubonsee staff or faculty member, an administrator or a student. It presents information about the college from the perspective of the people who work and learn here.
Working in Music
The ancient Greek teacher and philosopher Plato said, “Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to imagination, and life to everything.” Music is a universal language, rooted in talent and expression as much as it is rooted in chords and notes. This unique art form engages multiple areas of the mind, combining fine motor skills and technical knowledge with personal expression and originality. New methods of creating and consuming music and our unchanging passion for listening to it translate to numerous career options in the evolving world of music — performing, producing, promoting and more.
