Kimberly Marshall, director of the Herberger Institute School of Music and Goldman Professor of Organ, discusses how students benefit from traveling around the world with her. Since every organ is not built the same, they have opportunities to play and adapt to a variety of instruments. For instance, in her summer program to Mexico, she and students have access to five 18th-century organs.
