“Because of UNT and the generosity of scholarship donors, I’ve been able to attend this university and experience incredible opportunities. I’ve played in the One O’Clock Lab Band and performed with artists like Michael League, Billy Childs, Steve Davis, Rufus Reid.These experiences have shaped me as a musician and educator, and I’m now passing that knowledge on to my students — many of whom are excelling in all-state competitions and earning scholarships themselves. “I’m grateful to UNT and its donors for helping me become the teacher I’ve always hoped to be.” Anthony Casolari Jazz Bass Master’s Student
