My students having fun in the summer bassoon studio in Idyllwild, CA with special guest teacher John Steinmetz and assistant Sumner Arano.

H.S. Wind Ensemble, pre show. What a talented and extremely nice group of kids!

Teaching a reed master class to wonderful UCLA students Roshan and Yunjoo. Roshan is so excited to be cutting wire!

Some sweet messages left on the last day of camp.

John Steinmetz helping students perfect the myriad sound effects in his piece, "The Monster That Devoured Cleveland." My favorite sound was the "swan fart".

What an amazingly talented group of young bassoon players. Fabulous playing! And so stylish!
