EXPERIENCE
Mr. Haas began to take piano and trombone lessons at the age of 11 and 13, respectively, and continued his studies through his undergraduate years at Colorado State University. He was a finalist in the 2010 concerto competition while at CSU, performing Tchaikovsky’s 1st piano concerto, and has been awarded Special Talent and Performing Arts Scholarships for outstanding musical ability through all four graduate and undergraduate degrees.
In 2011, he then moved with his wife, Brittney, to Arizona where he completed his Master of Music degree solely in bass trombone performance. Garrett is currently ABD in his final title as Doctor of Musical Arts, again in bass trombone performance.
Through his time at Arizona State University, Mr. Haas has built a strong piano and trombone studio with students ranging in age from 5 to 65. The demand for his accompaniment has also increased significantly since moving to Arizona, and he has collaborated with musicians from almost all the musical instrument families. The numerous, glowing testimonials from the families, performers, and professors he has worked with speak volumes about Mr. Haas' outstanding musicianship and genuine personality.
"Truly a Gem"
