Graduate Profile

Erik Janners

Erik Janners
Graduation: 1994
Major: Music Performance

The most important thing Erik Janners learned during his time at Alma College was to care for each individual performer under his direction.

“No matter how large the band, orchestra or choir, each person in the group is still an individual with his or her own problems, successes and failures, strengths and weaknesses,” the 1994 graduate says. “The Alma music faculty got to know me, and all of us in the program, as individual people, and gave each of us what we needed personally to grow.”
