For our Season 2 midseason finale, we come to you with an interview with Dr. Michael Wilkinson, Assistant Professor of trombone at the University of South Carolina. Dr. Wilkinson has extensive performance and teaching experience in both classical and jazz, throughout many different age groups and many different instruments. Exemplifying versatility at its finest, he is an outstanding player and educator that has some funny stories and down-to-earth advice to share.

For this interview, he walks us through his early life and how he got into so many scenes, his experience and thought process behind his 2016 solo album, and some interesting accounts of his weirdest freelance gigs.
