Student, Musicicain, and Teacher in Normal, Illinois
I'm Justin O'Brien, a full time Music Business student at Illinois State University. Studying Music Business under Dr. Rose Marshack who pushes me to discover as much about the industry as possible. I am passionate about connecting the arts to as many people as possible, taking every opportunity to program events and music. I have been studying Trombone with Dr. Mark Babbitt since 2013, one of the premier Trombonists of our time who is currently the Principal Trombonist with the Peoria Symphony Orchestra as well as the Professor of trombone at Illinois State. I am also an Intern with The Castle Theater which allows me to live my goal of connecting my community with music.
Another passion of mine is connecting young musicians with music by giving Trombone lessons to students in the Bloomington-Normal community. I have been a private instructor for Trombone since 2013.
