Gustavus Adolphus College

Adjunct Instructor
Music

Scott Moore maintains an active career as a teacher, soloist and orchestral musician. He frequently performs with the Minnesota Orchestra, and acted as bass trombonist for their 100th Anniversary season. He also joined the orchestra for a recent European tour. Scott has performed with countless artists, from Midori, Pavoratti and YoYo Ma, to Sarah Vaughn and David Brubeck. Before moving to Minnesota he was an instructor at Capital University and bass trombonist for the Dayton Philharmonic. Regularly engaged by the Cincinnati Symphony during his tenure in Ohio, he can be heard on many recordings from the Symphony and the Cincinnati Pops.

As a teacher Mr. Moore is known for his ideas concerning ease of playing and musicianship. The most important aspect for his students to learn is the simplicity of making music. While musicians are trained in the concepts of breathing, intonation, rhythm, sound and phrasing that are familiar in most of the world's leading music schools, what comes as a surprise are the unusual methods employed to free aspiring musicians from past problems.

Moore is the only bass trombonist to have studied at the Juilliard School under the Professional Studies program and holds a Master of Music degree from the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music. Former teachers include Tony Chipurn, Arnold Jacobs, Don Harwood, Marie Speziale and Edward Treutel. In addition to his duties as conductor of the brass and trombone choirs at Gustavus, Mr. Moore teaches courses in music history, music technology and popular music.
