[Menvi-discuss] Contacting a professor.

[Julie McGinnity]

Hi.  You could also try asking the secretary at the music department
to get a message to him.  If I'm looking for a certain professor at my
school, I have gotten our department secretary to write a message to
that professor telling that person that I'm looking for him or her and
what I want.  Other than that, I think you've done everything
possible.  I would have suggested asking another professor, but you've
already done that.  If you have an advisor, you could also ask that
person to help you.  Sometimes it's very easy for a professor to get
lost in a music department...  :)
