This week, Karen sits down with her longtime friend, Technical Sergeant Darren Workman -- foodie, trombonist, teacher, and member of the U.S. Air Force Band’s Ceremonial Brass. In this uplifting interview, Darren takes us through his time as a college professor before his military service, explores his reasons for getting back into the audition circuit, and shares some of the profound and meaningful facets of his work. As a self-described Type A individual, Darren loves the process and getting after it in his practice. Darren unpacks some of his practice strategies, audition mentalities and experiences, and even his journey alternating between tenor and bass trombones.
