Eduardo Martinez

Originally from Burleson, Texas, Eduardo Martinez is pursuing a master's degree in bassoon performance at Arizona State University and serves as one of the teaching assistants for the Sun Devil Bassoon Studio. Eduardo previously studied at the University of Michigan (U-M), where he graduated Summa Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Arts degree in bassoon performance.

An avid performer and participant in masterclasses, a few of his favorite playing experiences include a U-M Symphony Orchestra side-by-side concert with Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra and a Masterclass with Václav Vonášek, the Berlin Philharmonic's contrabassoonist.

Eduardo maintains a private studio for high school-aged students in the Fort Worth, Texas, region. He firmly believes that we should emulate our former teachers and strive to provide quality instruction and be an exemplary teacher for his students. His primary teachers include Dr. Albie Micklich, Dr. Jeffrey Lyman, and Sarah Boyd.

When Eduardo is not playing bassoon, he is often found at the gym or on hiking trails. He loves reading fiction novels and is always looking for new foods to try and recipes to make.
