Introduction

Hello!

My name is Zachary Young, and I am a sophomore Music Education student at Kent State University. I have taught lessons on all brass instruments since my sophomore year at at United Local High School in Hanoverton, Ohio. I have also been previously contracted to assist with band camp sectionals for Wadsworth High School, Revere High School, and Crestview High School. 

In addition to teaching music, I also enjoy performing.  I currently play as Principal Euphonium in the Kent Wind Ensemble, and I play baritone in Kent State University's Flasher Brass pep band. I have performed in the past with the Quaker City Band in Salem, Ohio, and the Kent State Summer Band. As a high school student, I performed with the Stambaugh Youth Concert Band in Youngstown, Ohio, and the Columbiana County Honors Band. In the spring of 2017, I became a member of the Delta Upsilon chapter of Delta Omicron, an international professional music fraternity.

Within this blog, I intend on sharing resources for brass students of all ages, obtaining feedback from band students and their parents, and connecting with fellow colleagues. As they come up, I additionally plan on sharing information about workshops and other important events in the NE Ohio area.
