Mastering the Flute at Yale
Anouvong Liensavanh (B Mus (Hons) 2008)
Graduating with a Bachelor of Music degree
with First Class Honours in 2008, Anouvong
received numerous awards throughout his study,
culminating in the great honour of being awarded a
two year scholarship to study his Masters at Yale.
One of the highlights of his Masters degree was
the opportunity to teach undergraduates at Yale –
Anouvong gained immense pride from seeing his
own students excel, solidifying his resolve to be an
educator in his career.
Anouvong has been awarded a Doctoral
placement with Carol Wincenc, Professor of Flute
at SUNY Stony Brook and The Juilliard School
which he will defer until 2013. Until then he will
be based in New York City and New Haven
freelancing, teaching and continuing his association
with Yale through its community outreach program.
