In that same year, she received the “Jazz Innovators Award” from Dallas, TX as part of Jazz Appreciation Month for her contributions to jazz education for young people in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area.

In the summer of 2019, the city of Fort Worth awarded her with a “Legend In The Making” award at their annual “Dr. Marion J.

In May of 2017, she was awarded 3rd place in the “Performance” category of the International Songwriting Competition for her original song “Forgive Me Someday” from her latest album The Next Chapter.

UK based record store “Soul Brother Records” labeled “A Portrait Of LadyMay” as one of their “Best New Jazz Releases of 2013”. In 2020, she was featured in a Dallas Morning News article about her experiences as artist and educator. In addition, she contributed an article to the ISJAC (International Society of Jazz Arrangers & Composers) about her experience as a black woman composer and performer, earning a master’s degree during a pandemic, and being the first African American person to receive a master’s degree in Jazz Composition at the University of Texas at Arlington.

Music Marketing

The Music Marketing program at UTSA provides a unique and exciting learning experience to serious musicians who are interested in the business of music. Our Multidisciplinary program is distinctly different from most college music industry programs in several ways. First, and possibly most important to students, it's a full Bachelor of Music degree , with all the advantages, opportunities, and requirements of other areas in the BM degree. This means that all Music Marketing students audition, take private instruction, and perform in ensembles, just like all other music majors. Our graduates are excellent, well-trained musicians that can flourish in the highly competitive professional music world.

Second, we have a rigorous business core requirement . These courses, which include economics, marketing, communication, entrepreneurship, and management courses, provide Music Marketing students with the basic skills and concepts they need to understand the business environment apart from the constantly changing and unpredictable music industry.

Third, we emphasize a broad range of music industry specific activities that offer practical experience in diverse areas of music that correspond to students' interests. We work on arts administration projects, live music promotion and production, audio recording and internet distribution projects, music products sales and marketing, and entrepreneurial activities that help prepare students to meet the challenges of forging a career in music.

The UTSA Music Marketing program attracts ambitious, passionate, and dedicated music students that are not afraid of a challenge and are looking for a program that will prepare them to be competitive in a tough business. Our graduates have a portfolio of accomplishments to show employers by the time they graduate, have an impressive record of finding good jobs and building good careers in real-life situations in the music world.

I would like to invite you to visit the school and sit in one of my classes, meet and engage with some of our Music Marketing majors and share your aspirations with me.

If you think the UTSA Music Marketing program might be for you, and you'd like to know more, please feel free to email me at [email protected] .

Interdepartmental Collaboration

Sharing talent & information.

Theatre Arts and Cinematic Arts students come together each semester to meet up and discuss collaborative projects. Cinematic Arts student directors present their film projects for the semester in the hopes that a Theatre Arts student might be the perfect cast for the roles they need filled. The Theatre Arts Acting for the Camera course and the Cinematic Arts Directing I course also have labs that coincide, so that co-teaching and collaboration can happen between student actors and directors throughout the semester.

Photographed left, students gather in the Studio Theatre on the third Friday of the semester to collaborate and share projects & ideas.

Diversity Statement

We strive to create an environment of inclusivity and respect in our classrooms, rehearsal rooms, offices, and within our productions and communities. We actively recruit students from historically underrepresented groups, we support them in their educational journey, and we work to remain sensitive to the needs of our diverse student and faculty/staff population. We are committed to identity-conscious casting and honoring diverse voices in curriculum and the Maverick Theatre and Dance Company season. We advocate for the allocation of adequate resources to achieve these goals. UTA respectfully acknowledges the Wichita and Affiliated Tribes and Caddo Nation upon whose historical homelands this university is located. Our department has taken the following actions:

• Updated casting policy • Faculty/staff training in anti-racism, theatrical intimacy, and accessibility • Curriculum review for inclusion and diverse voices in theatre and dance • Conversion of dressing rooms into gender inclusive spaces
