About Me
- JoAnn Gaunt
- 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.

Today was the first day back in woodwind class. I am glad to be there! We started by reviewing the clarinet. Then we talked about doing play and conditions versus overhauls. It will be hard trying to decide which things to fix, and which things to let go. We also discussed how to evaluate instruments in front of customers, and what to say to them. It is always best to estimate high so you don't have to call later and tell them the repair is going to cost more than the estimate.
