| Description |
Lawrence (Larry) Martin, Choral Director at USU Eastern, discusses his musical life, from his childhood love of singing and diverse instrumental experience (voice, bass guitar, tuba) to his education at Eastern Arizona College and Western New Mexico University, culminating in a Master's degree in Choral Conducting. He credits mentors like Dr. David Lunt and his parents for nurturing his talent. Martin details his teaching career in Arizona and New Mexico before his move to USU Eastern in 2016, where he has been instrumental in expanding the music program (Chamber Choir, Concert Choir, Orchestra), securing new pianos, and fostering community engagement through initiatives like the annual Messiah performance, regional Honor Choirs, and the Friends of Music of USU Eastern group. |
