About Me

Leawood, Kansas, United States
Before deciding to become a Band Instrument Repair Tech, I studied music at Fort Hays State University (Hays, Kansas). I received my B.A. in music from them. There I studied Saxophone and Clarinet under Dr. Kristen Pisano. I also studied voice under Dr. Joe Perniciaro, and Jazz Improvisation under Brad Dawson. I am a member of Sigma Alpha Iota, a music fraternity, and I served as the FHSU chapter Vice President of Rituals. While in high school I earned many of my undergraduate hours at Barton County Community College. There I studied saxophone with Steven Lueth and piano with Karole Erickson. I also graduated with a diploma of Band Instrument Repair from Southeast Technical College in Red Wing, Minnesota in 2011.

I got a lot done today.  I finished my slide tool by drilling a hole in it, and threading it to fit the screw we were given.  Then I sanded the screw down so it would go all of the way in.


I finished soldering my mouth pipe to casing brace, and fixed the mouth pipe to bell brace that I had unsoldered.  It turned out all right, and it was much less frustrating than it was on Friday.  I also fitted the S braces for my mouth pipe project so I can solder those on tomorrow.   



I also unstuck the main tuning slide on my project trumpet today.  Photos and other information on that can be found on my "Project Trumpet" page.  You can see my finished slide tube tool in my "Hand Crafted Tools" page.
