Evan Walsh Trumpet Player from Los Angeles, CA

Evan performs regularly for Disneyland, The San Diego Zoo, and SeaWorld San Diego. Evan has contracted and performed for many distinguished politicians including US Speaker of the House Paul Ryan and former Speaker John Boehner. In addition to performing Evan also is a Teaching Artist for the Young Musicians Foundation, Mission Bay Montessori Academy, and has taught music regularly for the Anaheim City School District, Arcadia Unified School District, and the Los Angeles Unified School District. Music is important on many levels in life. Music helps develop self-discipline, aids the brain to learn and process academic skills, and is a catalyst in creativity both individually and in a group. Because of these benefits of music and the fact that music is such a vital and integral part of his life, Evan wants to promote music to others through teaching, mentoring, and giving educational concerts and workshops. What Evan enjoys most about teaching is that it gives him the opportunity to inspire others to be creative. Connect with Evan on his social networks @evanwmusic
