MU School of Music adjusts to distance learning | LIFE - MU The Parthenon
Emily Hayslett, works on a campus as a lifeguard and swim instructor at The Rec Center writes, Majors across campus are having to make
adjustments due to Marshall University’s closure. Students and
professors in the School of Music said they are using this as an
opportunity to learn new ways of teaching and performing music.
“One thing I told my students and faculty as we were preparing to
make this transition is it’s going to be different and it’s going to be
challenging, but we may discover some things out of this process that we
really like and want to keep doing,” said Susan Tusing, the director of

Tusing said she hopes after the university opens back up that the
school can take some of the techniques they picked up while teaching
online and integrate them into regular classes...
Tusing said Marshall has allowed lab
formatted classes, such as ensembles that would have to meet in person,
to end the semester early and give the students the grade in the class
they had thus far. This option is also available for students who are
not able to access their instruments outside of class, like
percussionists.
