I would like to pose this question to the panel. In your view what was the most important class taught at your respective school and how did it help prepare you for the life of a working musician? And also what class was the least beneficial to your professional development? Are there ways that we can improve the current curricula without having to start from the ground up?
Adam Pijanowski earned his Bachelors of Music in Euphonium Performance in the spring of 2001 from the University of Illinois in Champaign, Illinois. Adam has had the opportunity to play in diverse ensembles; punk rock bands, tuba-euphonium quartets, brass quintets, British brass bands to professional orchestras. He began playing the tuba only five years ago and moved to Rochester, New York last fall to study with Mr. Don Harry for a Masters Degree from the Eastman School of Music .
In addition to being a performer Adam has also had some as a private educator. It is his belief that a responsible musician does his/her best to pass on this art to the next generation. Since 1995 Adam has taught private trumpet, euphonium and tuba lessons for middle school and high school age children. He enjoys the enthusiasm and vigor that many of them show for music and learning an instrument.
