What about your education?

I went to Indiana for undergrad.

And I studied with John Rommel there, which is great, really formative experience there.

And then I went to NEC.

for Masters, which was also great.

I studied with Ben Wright and Tom Siders, and I was able to hear the orchestra.

We had free student tickets, so I was pretty much every week I was at the BSO.

For people who've never experienced an audition, which is probably most people, could you describe how that process works?
