Middle Georgia State University Music Program

We extend our heartfelt condolences to our friends at Mercer University on the passing of Ian Altman.

He was a remarkable presence in our community whose impact reached far beyond the stage and classroom. His contributions to the music community will not be forgotten, and he will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

The Townsend School of Music is grieving the passing of Dr. Ian Altman, associate professor of piano at the School of Music. Dr. Altman was retiring at the end of this school year, after 52 years of dedicated service to Mercer.

Dr. Altman was passionate about teaching and cared deeply for his students. He taught most of the music majors who entered the halls of the McCorkle Music Building and Ware Hall before it, and he will be greatly missed by the faculty, staff, and students.

We will post service details as soon as they are available.

The music keeps rolling! Join us this Wednesday, April 15 at 4:30 PM for a Tiny Desk–style performance by our Commercial Combo. Come hang out and enjoy some great live music!

Hi, everyone. MGA will be holding an open house for students interested in Music and other creative degrees. Free lunch, tours, breakout sessions are part of the day. Please come visit us yourself--I think you may be encouraged and surprised by the wonderful program we offer. Encourage music and other creative students to attend as well. FYI, we have alumni with grad assistantships, in the classroom, with paid internships in places like the new Macon amphitheater, in military bands, leading church music programs and more.
