May 2023 update
May 2023
Happy Spring to all! I hope all has been well with you since the last newsletter.
April was a wonderful month for me, I was on the road doing some educational outreach in the Midwest. While I was there, I also had a great opportunity to work at my old high school, and do some clinics for the students. Here are some fun clips & pictures from that visit!
I spoke with the superintendent of my alma mater about the Grammy win and other topics here:
