Dawn Lindblade-Evans
Dawn is an essential and irreplaceable part of my company. She combines strong clarinet pedagogy with humor and improvisational charisma. She can captivate a room full of middle school students, and leave them with better concepts of embouchure, air, articulation, and hand position at the end. She exemplifies professionalism and is a wonderful steward of our company outside of the classroom at conferences and clinics, and her former collegiate students impress me with their own sense of professionalism and teaching ability.” - Julie Linder, Clarinet Pro Workshops
