About
Dr. Patrick Lawrence, Associate Professor of
Trombone, Euphonium, and Tuba at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point,
maintains a vibrant low brass studio and hosts the yearly UWSP Tuba Christmas
Concert.
A passionate educator, he enjoys teaching
students of all skill levels, elementary through college-age. He is active in
educational outreach, working with students across the state in clinics and
honor bands. He is the recipient of the 2013 UWSP Excellence in Teaching Award.
Prior to accepting a position at UWSP, he taught middle school band and
orchestra in Arizona where his student groups received superior and excellent
ratings at local, state and national music festivals.
Dr. Lawrence teaches two hands-on summer
instrument maintenance and repair courses for students and band directors to
prepare them for the inevitable wear and tear on their school
instruments.
His recently published book, Solo
Literature for Low Brass and Organ, is an extension of his doctoral
study and is now available from Amazon.com. A reference to over 220 solos for
trombone, euphonium and tuba, it is intended to encourage interest in this rich
collaboration of instruments. He has authored articles and music reviews
published in the International Trombone Association Journal, the
International Tuba and Euphonium Association Journal, and Wisconsin
School Musician.
An active performer, he is principal trombonist
with the Central Wisconsin Symphony Orchestra and conductor of the Wausau
Symphonic Band.
He completed the Doctor of Musical Arts degree
from Arizona State University in 2009. He also holds a Master of Music
Degree from the University of Arizona and Bachelor degrees in Secondary Music
Education and Performance from The University of Mary, Bismarck, North Dakota.
