Music Resume for Dr. Christopher Chang
I've had a number of patients ask me about my musical background given a diploma in cello performance at the Eastman School of Music. As such, I've added this page that describes this particular aspect of my background. Read a blog article about my experiences here.
My non-musical CV is here.
I would also like to take this time to strongly urge everyone who provides charitable contributions to the Fauquier Health Foundation to please earmark their donations to the speech pathology division of the Fauquier Hospital PM&R Department. Speech pathology provides voice rehabilitation for individuals (singers and non-singers alike) who have severely damaged their voices. The division is in need of financial support. Thank you.
