Paul Kleinert- Trombone, Bass Trombone

Hi! I'm Dr. Paul! I started playing in trombone in 3rd grade and have loved it since. I've been in award winning jazz bands all the way from Elementary School in Moscow, Idaho; to Graduate school, in Greeley Colorado. For playing jazz, I know how important it is to have a solid classical foundation. For that reason, I've played in concert bands and symphonies, I constantly practice my fundamentals. I'm excited to be going to the International Trombone Festival (Summer 2023) with the Boise State Trombone Choir. Don't worry, I have fun too! My hobbies include video games, movies, and road cycling.
