    About Michael T.

    (2)
    Hello! I'm Michael, a Chicago-based clarinetist and teacher. I am currently an associate member of the Chicago Civic Orchestra as well as a graduate student at DePaul University, where I study with members of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Though I currently live in Chicago, I have performed around the country with groups such as the University of North Texas Wind Symphony, the Hot Springs Festival Orchestra, and the Fillmore Wind Band; I can be heard on recordings by these groups as well as the Lonestar Wind Orchestra! As a chamber musician, I was a finalist in the 2019 George Papich Chamber Music Competition and a recipient of the North Texas Excellence in Chamber Music Award. I have taught private lessons, masterclasses, and leadership training for more than 6 years, helping students to reach their own unique goals. In 2019, I graduated summa cum laude from the University of North Texas with a Bachelor of Music degree and a minor in Spanish. Feel free to reach out, and let's start working towards your goals!
