My bio is now up on the official website for the University of Hawaii at Manoa‘s faculty listing!

It was officially announced today that I have won a position playing tuba with the Royal Hawaiian Band. I am incredibly pleased and proud to join such a wonderful organization with such a rich history! Established 176 years ago by King Kamehameha III, the Royal Hawaiian Band is the only band in American with a Royal legacy and, as a department of the City and County of Honolulu, it is the only full-time municipal band in the US. I am excited to be part of a band that performs over 300 concerts a year at venues ranging from the grounds of the Iolani Palace to Retirement Communities and Elementary Schools. I had been working as a substitute with the band on Tuba, Euphonium, and Trombone.

I will also be teaching Tuba, Euphonium, and Music Education this fall at the University of Hawaii-Manoa! The numbers are a bit down in the tuba and euphonium studios, so if you are interested in pursuing a BM, BA, BE, MM, MA, or PhD and would like to study at one of the most beautiful places on earth, please consider checking out UH.

Hey Guys,

Very glad to be a part of the Yamaha Family!

Here are some notes that John and I received after our Primary School performances. Yes, that first one is a tuba spewing fire. Awesome. In the second one, they managed to show that John is thinner than I am. . . in stick figures! Well done!

Come join CASH Back tomorrow (Thursday the 11th) from 12:15-12:45 for “Hochstein at High Falls”!

There’s no such thing as a free lunch, but you can get free entertainment!
