As an award-winning clarinetist\nand emigrant to the South by way of New York and Wisconsin, Eric Schultz,\nassistant professor in the Department of Music, is eager to explore CCU\u2019s\npotential as his new academic and professional home. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Schultz comes to CCU in the midst of a prestigious career as an internationally renowned musician who has performed with the Chelsea Symphony, toured as a member of the orchestra in Tony Award-winning Broadway musicals, and was scheduled to perform at Carnegie Hall in May 2020 (rescheduled for 2021). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his shift to a position that blends performance with teaching, Schultz is excited for the opportunities that CCU offers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of Schultz\u2019 goals is creating new chamber music groups for students and other musicians, taking advantage of CCU\u2019s facilities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Wheelwright Auditorium recording studio is a great benefit for students,\u201d Schultz said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the classroom, Schultz\u2019 goal is to push students out of their comfort zone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI will challenge you,\u201d he warns fledgling musicians, \u201cbut that is done out of love. It means I believe in you. I want to help you find your path.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being pushed out of one\u2019s comfort zone is nothing new to Schultz; it\u2019s how he discovered his love for teaching. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAn undergraduate teacher inspired me quite a bit. My clarinet teacher at the time, Melissa Koprowski, really pushed me in every way possible,\u201d Schultz recollects. \u201cOn top of her excellent teaching, she also has one of the most beautiful clarinet tones I have ever heard\u2026 I never thought I would want to teach, but as I went on to teach privately and later even teach in Melissa\u2019s studio during a leave, I fell in love with teaching.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teaching at the university level is very liberating for Schultz. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cNow I get to do everything,\u201d he says, noting that being a professor affords him the opportunity to perform, write about music, commission new pieces, learn about new technology, conduct, and, of course, teach. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has offered Schultz some time to engage with his other interests, however. To stay sane during quarantine, Schultz has watched the series The Magicians <\/em>on Netflix, and he enjoys reading books about language learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy cat, Andreas, is also very entertaining,\u201d he notes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his off time, Schultz enjoys binging on ice cream and balancing out the calories with one of his favorite hobbies: running, weightlifting, or yoga. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
