Please join me in welcoming Trepanning Trio’s newest member Courtney Lambert:
Courtney is a percussionist and percussion educator. She graduated from Ball State University with a degree in music education in December, 2006. Shortly thereafter she moved to Ohio and completed her M.M. at Kent State University under the mentorship of Professor Ted Rounds. Courtney currently serves as percussion instructor for Cuyahoga Falls City Schools, Crestwood Middle and Intermediate Schools and Revere High School. She also maintains an active private studio, provides drumming enrichment classes for the Akron After School program, and performs around the Akron-Cleveland area. Some recent performance opportunities have included an alumni recital at Ball State University, several solo marimba concerts around Northeast Ohio, solo and percussion ensemble performances at the Kent State University New Music Festival, marimba soloist with the Kent State University Wind Ensemble, and percussionist with the Kent/Blossom Chamber Orchestra, Stow Symphony, Cleveland Heights Chamber Orchestra, and Suburban Symphony. During the summer of 2010 Courtney was honored to serve as a teaching artist for ArtWorks, an arts-based job training program sponsored by Young Audiences in Cleveland.
Courtney loves living in Kent with her similarly percussive significant other, Rob, their two cats, Penny and Benny, and of course their plethora of percussion toys.
We welcome her to our little fold with open ears and open arms.
