A New Conductor

Jeff - we haven't seen him this fancy yet

Much to our surprise, this year brought the advent of a new age for the Lewis & Clark College orchestra with the addition of Dr. Jeff Specht to the Music Department Faculty.

Jeff is from Minnesota - like me, YAY!!! - and has studied many disciplines in music.  When he conducts, you can tell he plays tuba, which is kind of funny.

I think Jeff is leading the LC orchestra to a new era of greatness!!!  In two rehearsals I feel we've accomplished more than we did in months with the last conductor.


I'm excited to work with him this year as a player and aspiring conductor (because the more people you play under, the better at reading cues you become and the more examples you have to work with for your own conducting!!)!
