| Description | Richard Dart, a multi-talented musician from Price, Utah, details his life and extensive musical career, which began with drums at age 4 and piano at 7, leading to a specialty in trombone and brass. He grew up in a profoundly musical family, performing in his father's Jimmy Dart Orchestra alongside his high school teachers, and was involved in the legendary Carbon High choir program and the six-decade-long local Messiah tradition. While a Mass Communications major at BYU, Dart was the principal trombone player in the Synthesis Jazz Band. His professional life was marked by varied interests, including photography, radio, IT, and a career as a Data Engineer with Family Search, in addition to being a licensed pilot and a former licensed contractor. He currently plays with the Utah Premier Brass and emphasizes that music has taught him the importance of discipline and teamwork. |
