Mr. Keiser has devoted his life to music and music education and is currently pursuing his Bachelor's Degree in Music Education at Wayne State University in Detroit, MI. While doing this, he also gives private trombone and euphonium lessons, instructs area high school ensembles, designs marching drill, teaches brass and visual technique for Midwestern drum & bugle corps and marching bands, and has been a member of both the Michigan Competing Band Association Judge's Guild and the Drum Corps Midwest Judge's Guild. While education, rather than performance is his focus, Mr. Keiser is also a fine trombone and euphonium player in his own right.
