Bio:
Brass Legend, Virtuoso Soloist, World Renowned Teacher. These are just a few monikers associated with Roger Bobo. He is in demand world wide as a teacher of all brass instruments, adjudicator at major international competitions, and as a conductor.
Roger Bobo currently resides in Oaxaca, Mexico. Prior to this move to Mexico, he served as faculty at the Musashino Academy of Music in Tokyo, the Fiesole School of Music near Florence, Italy, at the Lausanne Conservatory in Switzerland, the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester, England, the HKB Hochschule der Künste Bern in Bern, Switzerland and at the Rotterdams Konservatorium in The Netherlands.
Orchestras around the world have seen Roger Bobo as soloist, conductor and coach for brass sections preparing major symphonic repertoire. His students currently occupy positions in major symphony orchestras and universities throughout the world, and several have gone on to develop successful solo careers of their own. A few of his many successful students include: Marco Peirobon (trumpet), Luca Benucci (horn), Christian Lindberg, David Bruchez (trombone), Ben Van Dijk, Jeff Reynolds (bass trombone), Misa Mead (euphonium), and several tubists including, Anne Jelle Viser, Alessandro Fossi, Carol Jantsch, Gene Pokorny, Gianluca Grosso, Jim Self, Kiyoshi Sato, Mario Barsotti, Øystein Baadsvik, Roland Szentpali, Scott Sutherland, Sergio Carolino, Steven Rosse, and Velvet Brown.
