Dr. Jonathan Sayre Allen – Trombonist and Teacher

Last week we went to Chicago to spend some time with Kate’s sister, Kim and for me to get closer to Milwaukee where I took the audition for the second trombone vacancy. Every audition is a little different – I have nothing but great things to say about the way this audition was run. I have never met a nicer group of people running the audition and I have never been at an audition where it is on time!
I felt pretty good about the way I played in the audition, but didn’t advance. By the time I left, around eighty people had played and only four people advanced. I am glad that I did the audition and I learned a lot in the process. Back to the practice room!
We didn’t do any sight seeing this time around in Chicago, just the annual trip to IKEA. Next time we will actually try to see some stuff….
