Hey, my name is Corey A. Wallace and I am a musician. I just graduated from Penn State University with a degree in trombone performance a couple weeks ago and am heading to grad school next year to study jazz extensively at William Paterson University in Wayne, NJ (about 20 miles from Manhattan, NYC). I hail from Baltimore City (northeast) and have been stuck in State College, PA for the past five years, but I've made it work for me. That's all you can do when you find out things aren't as you thought they would be.
I've had the pleasure to perform with Vincent Gardner, Jim McFalls, Dick Oates, Marko Marcinko, Ronnie Burrage, Steve Rudolph, Dwayne Dolphin, John Fedchock, Chris Vadala, Walt Weiskopf, Dave Stambler, Joshua Davis, Donald Byrd, Lynn Seaton, Tyrone Wheeler, Dan Yoder, Craig Alston, Freddie Dunn, Whit Williams, and many more...It has been a blessing to have shared the stage with these great people and I would again in a heartbeat. They have shared much with me about the music and life and I appreciate them continuing the jazz tradition.
Not a stranger to the other side of the horn, I have studied the repertoire of the trombone, technique and continue to do so. I've had two recitals while at Penn State, and have played on countless others. I was honored to perform at Carnegie Hall with the National Wind Ensemble, as co-Principal Trombonist, in 2005 for the 9th Annual National Wind Ensemble Concert in New York. With the Penn State Trombone Choir, I have performed at the Annual Fruhling Posaunen event (Trombone Day for Eastman, Ithaca, and Penn State), 2006 Eastern Trombone Workshop, 2007 and 2008 Pennsylvania Music Educators Conventions, and many other places I can't remember. I'll list them as my memory permits, haha
I'll write some more later on...sorry if you're reading this while I'm constructing it! haha However you always could send me a note or hit my wall...PEace and Keep Swingin'...Myspace Layouts
