Dr. Nathaniel O. Brickens, professor

welcome to the trombone studio

The UT Trombone Studio is a close-knit group of students who are supportive of each other, enjoy playing ensembles together, and frequently choose to experience extracurricular social and musical activities together. Trombone Choir, Trombone Olympics, and Trombone Studio Recitals provide performance opportunities and forums for bonding with other members of the studio.  Recent studio trips include travel to Spain, France, Germany, Switzerland, Denmark, Brazil, and Mexico.
