While at Westminster, Sam became proficient with many different instruments, which is important and necessary for educators to do in case they are tasked with teaching an instrument-based music class such as a concert band or orchestra. While voice is his primary instrument, Sam also was an all-state level tuba player all throughout high school, and often gigs as a tuba player whenever possible. He is actively looking for other brass musicians to gig with.
