Our Stories

Caleb Norton, a graduate teaching assistant in instrumental music education and doctoral student in Auburn's College of Education, recently traveled to the University of Cape Coast in Ghana, where he engaged in teaching, research and cultural exchange — an experience that is shaping his approach to music education and his future professional goals.
