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.

We practices corking all morning (notice the pile of cork on my bench, and all of the used razor blades).  I am already getting much better at it!  This afternoon we learned more about regulation. There are two points of regulation on the clarinet (meaning 2 or more pads closing from one point of action).  We learned how to bend touch pieces and the bridge to get the right pads to close exactly together.
