Casey’s primary instrument is double bass, which he has been playing for eight years. He also plays cello and tuba. He says, “I’ve been trying to keep my practicing consistent during quarantine, trying to balance it with my job. My favorite things to do outside of music are cooking and watching Netflix! My favorite performance of mine is when I played the Koussevitzky bass concerto for my senior year in high school.”

“Hi! My name is Andrew, and I play the French Horn. I’ve been playing the French Horn for eight years. I don’t just play the Horn though. I can also play the trumpet, trombone, baritone, tuba, and the recorder too. I practice every day, and it is going extremely well. But I don’t just play music, I also have other things I love to do as well. I read a lot, I write articles and blogs, and I interpret the Spanish language for online companies. My favorite composer is probably Franz Joseph Haydn. I can’t wait to see you all next semester!”
