About Me

Musician – Educator – Blogger

Those words sum up the work of Jeremy E. Smith. As a Low Brass Musician, I have played all over the country in groups such as Orchestra Iowa, the Columbus Symphony Orchestra, the Columbus Jazz Orchestra, and Vaughn Wiester’s Famous Jazz Orchestra.

Music has enabled me to be an Educator, where I have given masterclasses at Marshall University, the North Carolina Trombone Festival, and have been a guest artist at Ohio University. I have taught in the brass areas at The Ohio State University, Ohio Wesleyan University, Kenyon College, and Mount Vernon Nazarene University.

As a Blogger, I began my first blog in 2007 when I started writing about life and my journey to the trombone section of an orchestra. Over time, that first blog morphed into this current website. I primarily write posts that relate to music as well as other topics that interest me. In 2014, I recognized a need in the brass music world for a website that would be a resource for musicians to find links to other brass artists and upcoming auditions. In seven years, Last Row Music has become one of the most visited websites for brass auditions worldwide.
