After graduating from Smithtown East, I attended Wilkes University as a Music Education Major. There, I studied sax with William Gaspbarro (who unfortunately past away the summer between freshman and sophomore year) and Tom Heinze.
A significant part of my education at Wilkes, though was provided by voice teacher and ultimate friend Richard Chapline who I will profile at a later time. I learned to sing fairly well because of him and did more vocal recitals than sax recitals, in the end.
Here are excerpts from my senior recital (1989).
BOZZA: ARIA
