Introduction
Hello! My name is Carl Colvin, a professional musician, writer, and editor. I recently moved down to the Cincinnati area from Chicago, where I finished two post-graduate degrees in oboe performance. I have a large amount of performing and teaching experience, having performed in a wide array of ensembles ranging from classical orchestras to hip hop groups and have taught one-on-one lessons, group lessons, and directed large ensembles.
