Alessandro Martinez, clarinet

Student Soloist

An accomplished clarinetist, it may surprise you that Alessandro wanted to play the oboe or bassoon. Since neither were available to him in the beginning, he figured the closest thing was clarinet. “In middle school I remember asking my teacher if I could switch to oboe, but he told me that I was too good at clarinet to switch!”

As the clarinet has become an integral part of his life, he attributes that love and his success as a musician to his private teacher, Ashley Cook, and his band directors Mr. Curley and Mr. Allison.

“They have taught me a lot about music that goes beyond just my instrument and have helped me grow as a person. I am very thankful to all of them.”

Besides his involvement in school music programs, Alessandro has participated in SOGO seven years and has served on the student board for the last two years. He has also performed in All State and All Northwest groups, and this year he will be performing at the state Solo & Ensemble contest.

Alessandro chose the second movement of the Weber Clarinet Concerto No. 1 because he couldn’t stop thinking about it. He says, “There is nothing specific I want you to listen for because it would ruin the secret emotional message. Listen through your deep, innermost feelings and you will hear it.”

His plans are to go to college and pursue an engineering degree while keeping up his playing skills. When not doing his academics or music you might find Alessandro doing front handsprings around the yard!

Committed to providing very playable, great sounding instruments, within your budget.

Future Music Makers Scholarship Fund

Although our fees to participate in SOGO are reasonable, they are still a barrier for many families. We believe young musicians benefit from participating in SOGO’s programs and should not be prohibitive because of economic circumstances. For that reason, SOGO is reaching out to begin building the Future Music Makers Scholarship Fund.

Children interested in joining SOGO have their family member complete a simple application form. Based on their interest and demonstrated financial need, up to half the tuition fees can be awarded. All information is kept confidential.

The Future Music Makers Scholarship Fund is supported by committed community members to prevent financial circumstances from becoming an obstacle to any young musician’s participation in SOGO’s orchestras. A robust fund will ensure that all young musicians will have equal opportunity to experience the high-quality programming SOGO offers the South Sound area.

Mr. May received a Bachelor of Music Education degree from the University of Colorado Boulder and a Master of Music degree in Orchestral Conducting from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
