[Scott Sutherland]

I'd like to highlight a couple of the perks of this position. First is the Pokorny Seminar, which is a wonderful opportunity to work with one of the finest orchestral tuba players in the world along with a trombone faculty that is second to none (Randy Hawes, Detroit Symphony, Michael Mulchahy, Chicago Symphony, and Andrew Glendening, University of Redlands and Redlands Symphony). This seminar is six days that will change the way you play and equip you for success in the music world.

Additionally, the position will entitle you to audition for the Redlands Symphony, a local professional orchestra, as a student substitute and extra tuba. The orchestra has a special relationship with the orchestra and students from the university are given the chance to regularly sit in with their teachers to play in a professional setting. This past season, my top student played on most of the concerts, either playing second tuba on pieces like Symphonie Fantastique or Also Sprach Zarathustra, or alone on works like Night on Bald Mountain.

If you have a question, please don't hestitate to contact me.
