Mark Miller,Saxophone |
Mark comes from a musical family and began studying the saxophone in 4th grade. He is currently pursuing his Music Education degree at CSU. What do you like most about the CSU Music Department? " It holds a tight family of students that are all there to make the best music that they can while remembering why we make music; to have fun by ourselves and with our friends." Tell us about your upcoming Jazz Classics Concert. "We'll be playing music from composers that were important figures in jazz history. You will recognize many of the pieces, but they will be modern arrangements of classics and versions of tunes that are more complex and difficult than the standard swing band music than most people recognize, which Professor Sommer does an excellent job of selecting to help us all improve as musicians." |
