Lucas Lyum

Lucas Lyum is a Sophomore in Music Learning and Teaching Major, from Las Vegas, Nevada. He started his musical journey at Pinecrest Sloan Canyon Conservatory and has continued bassoon and music through college. He participated in his band's top wind ensemble and the top choral ensemble at his high school.

Lucas Lyum was primarily a vocalist and decided to take up the challenge of bassoon late in his junior year of high school and has been playing bassoon for 3 years. He is a dedicated musician, helping out with his) conservatory’s events and concerts. In his first full year of playing Bassoon he shocked himself by making it into the 2024 Nevada Music Education Association (NMEA) All-state Band Festival sitting 4th chair Bassoon. (That might not seem impressive to you, but to him it was a big achievement.) Not only is he one of the few students to be able to participate in 2 NMEA All-state ensembles, but he also made it into the NMEA All-State Choir festival.

On top of this Lucas was a leader in his choral ensemble, being a section leader for the Bass, Baritone, and Tenors, and being a student conductor for his intermediate and beginning choirs. Lucas was also the first person at his school to finish the conservatory program and received an award for it.

In his free time he would listen to music or watch videos. He would also attempt to compose and arrange music for fun as well.

Lucas is very excited to start the new school semester and learn more new techniques and things about the bassoon.
