Steven Trinkl - Alpha Psi Class
The Pennsylvania native is off to a good start through the ASU music program after putting together the Spring [2009] Student Composition Recital and performing in it. One of Trinkl’s interests outside of music [was Mandarin Chinese, which he studied] at the University of Maryland before transferring to ASU. He looped the Chinese culture in for the Student Composition Recital by writing and performing “Sun and Zhou Suite.” The piece drew from traditional Chinese and western music and a historical story of two ancient Chinese heroes who set out to unite their broken country, prevailing over great odds. Besides the traditional tenor slide trombone, he also plays the alto and bass trombones and [was] under the tutelage of Dr. Ed Surface, ASU’s low brass professor. He also plays the tuba, horn, oboe, clarinet, saxophone and cello. (excerpts from Student Spotlight, read full story here)

Dr. Jeff Womack - Beta Gamma Class
Dr. Jeff Womack not only teaches ASU music students to better play their instruments, he also shows some of them how to make their own parts.
An associate professor of music, Womack specializes in the double-reed instruments, bassoon and oboe. They are the only instruments that require their performers to make their own reeds out of two pieces of cane.
“All of the brass instruments use a mouthpiece that’s the same every time,” Womack said. “We have to make our mouthpieces. Even the single reeds, they have an actual mouthpiece and they have to put a reed on. We have to make a mouthpiece from scratch from a stick of cane, which is an organic material, and it’s different every single time.” (excerpts from Faculty Focus, read full story here)
Dr. Womack is part of the Angelo State music department faculty and plays with the San Angelo Symphony, Abilene Philharmonic, San Antonio Symphony, and the faculty small ensemble "Mesquite Trio".
