should professors with DMA degrees be addressed as "Dr. _____" ? (fill in the black with the last name)
I find some of them to prefer just Mr. ___ or Ms. ___, while others insist on being called Dr. ____. It also depends on the location or purpose of the meetings. (in private or master classes, during recitals or other performances, chance meeting at airports or grocery stores... etc)
Then I also have heard from non-music doctors(PhDs or medical doctors) who insist that DMA "doctors" are not real doctors.... of course, there are also medical doctors with actual doctorate degrees in medicine who don't consider regular "doctor"(medical doctors) to be "doctors" in the academic sense...
so what's the consensus here? should DMA doctors be referred to as "Dr. ______" ? :)
