Five questions for Jeffrey Nytch

When Jeffrey Nytch, D.M.A., prepares students for potential nonlinear career paths, he’s speaking from experience. “I didn’t go to college to major in music,” said Nytch, a professor at CU Boulder’s College of Music. “In fact, I was interested in business and finance. Music had always been in my life, but I was told that it was ‘a great hobby but a lousy way to make a living.’” This year, Nytch was named to the newest cohort of President’s Teaching Scholars at CU.
