Today we’re joined by Mr. Wesley Shores (or @westhetrombonist on Instagram and many of you may know him)! As a recent graduate of the Schwob School of Music and in the process of applying to graduate schools, college is fresh on his mind and he’s able to give some excellent insight into how it helped him grow as a trombonist and person. We dive deep into topics of motivation and self-discovery, as well as discuss lighter topics of hobbies and fun stories from childhood. (And yes we did touch on some trombone pedagogy… we couldn’t help ourselves.) We hope you enjoy this interview!

Transition music: The Christmas Song, Nat King Cole, Wesley Shores 2020
