at Murfreesboro’s annual JazzFest downtown on the Public Square.
The ensemble will perform Saturday, May 1, at 3 p.m. I have enjoyed every hour of flight instruction and have been able to pursue a goal that might not otherwise have been attainable without the encouragement and support of the FMA, John Zapp, Gary Piper, and all of the FMA Solo sponsors: Aviators Hotline, Bose Aviation, Sporty’s Pilot Shop, MYGOFLIGHT, Gleim Aviation, Trade-A-Plane, 121five.The MTSU Jazz Ensemble I, the School of Music’s top jazz student performing group, winds up the annual Illinois Jacquet Jazz Festival April 10 on the stage of Hinton Hall with Lionel Hampton’s classic “Flying Home,” led by Jazz Studies Program director Jamey Simmons, center right in the blue shirt, and saxophone and jazz studies professor Don Aliquo, center left in the dark suit. Wish me luck!įinally, congratulations to the 2018 FMA Solo Nominees! I cannot begin to describe what an honor it has been to be a 2017 FMA Solo recipient. Next weekend, I’ll be playing tenor sax in the Rutherford County Honor Band, then on March 3, I’ll be auditioning for a spot on the University of Tennessee Pride of the Southland Marching Band. I’ve really enjoyed participating in the Conference the last 4 years.
Our guest director, Brett Baker from Manchester, England, was fantastic. Switching gears to music, I had a great time playing bari sax at the Tennessee Wind Band Conference last weekend at Middle Tennessee State University (photos below). Stay tuned! I’m scheduled to fly on Saturday and Sunday morning. If the good weather holds out, my instructor, Tanner Quigley at Murfreesboro Aviation said he believes the plane and I will be ready to solo next weekend. Had we not experienced problems with the left brake, I would have soloed this morning! But, safety first. I have now logged 10.4 hours in the Cessna 152, and 13.9 in all. I worked on take-offs and landings, completing 8 before we called it a day. I was finally able to fly this morning after several cancellations due to bad weather.

If any FMA members will be in Nashville for Summer NAMM and want to hear some very talented jazz students play, let me know and I can send details. next week I will be participating in the Nashville Jazz Workshop Jazz Camp, which ends on Friday with a public performance. The FMA has made my goal of learning to fly achievable. Thanks to John Zapp and the FMA for selecting me and for the headset and thanks again to Bose for its sponsorship of the FMASolo Scholarship Program. It is AWESOME! I am honored to have been selected for the FMA President’s Award. You may notice that in this picture I’m wearing a Bose A20 Aviation Headset. Here is a picture from the flight! On July 2, I’ll make my first round-trip local solo flight from MBT to Shelbyville (SYI). After ground school and preparing the flight plan, I made a dual instruction cross-country flight with my instructor, Tanner Quigley, last week. I am now preparing for my first solo cross country flight from Murfreesboro, TN (MBT) to Fayetteville, TN (FYM).
In addition to the flight training provided by the FMA and generous FMASolo sponsors, Murfreesboro Aviation donated an additional 10 hours of training after solo to help me reach my goal of earning my private pilot license. I thought I would take a minute to let everyone know how my flight training has progressed since soloing in March.
