Welcome to episode 62. Time to tune up some instruments. Today’s guest has done so much for the music education community on Long Island and his name is Peter Freeman.
Peter is the principle trombone and President for the Massapequa Philharmonic Orchestra. He is also a member of the Nassau Pops Symphony Orchestra and has played with the South Shore Symphony and the Band of Long Island. He is a retired High School Band Director and Administrator of Fine and Performing Arts from Long Island, New York. An alumnus of Penn State, Peter was Baritone Horn Rank Leader for the Blue Band, principle trombone in the Penn State Symphony Orchestra and Wind Ensemble, and was the conductor of the basketball pep band. In addition to teaching, he was President of Nassau (County) Music Educators Association and the Nassau County Chapter of the New York State Council of Music Administrators.
Currently, in addition to performing and teaching privately, Peter is the founder and administrator for “The Trombone Place”, a Facebook Group created to teach and motivate beginner through intermediate trombonists and their teachers. He is also the composer of “For Our Heroes”, a piece of music designed to be performed live and completely socially distanced by musicians of all ages and ability levels.
Pete is the humble husband to his wife Joann and the proud father to Jeanette and Billy (both wonderful trombonists in their own right!)
Thanks again to Laurie Ann Davis for introducing us. I know you will enjoy this chat with me and Peter Freeman.
