What I Do at SSU
My background is in trombone, piano, music education, composition and conducting and thus I have taught just about every course in the curriculum. Versatility is my curse! I love teaching music theory, conducting and conducting groups. I teach Form and Analysis, Conducting Technique, Instrumental Conducting and Methods and conduct the Symphonic Wind Ensemble. I also have been known to sweep the floors, wash the windows and take out the trash!
My Bio
Composer/conductor Brian Scott Wilson, winner of the International Trombone Association Composition Competition, serves as Music Department Chair and Director of University Bands at Sonoma State University. Dr. Wilson is a native of the Boston suburb of Lynn, MA, and a graduate of New England Conservatory, the University of Chicago and the University of Arizona. An enthusiastic champion of music education, Wilson co-founded the Sonoma Brass Institute in 2005 to offer brass education and performance opportunities of the highest quality to the North Bay area.
