St. Norbert College • Instrumental Music Education • Saxophone
I'm Samuel Kastning, a freshman at St. Norbert College studying instrumental music education and performing on saxophone in a variety of ensemble settings. I stay active in both concert and jazz groups, and this site is a simple place to share a little about my background and setup.
“Music is your own experience, your thoughts, your wisdom. If you don't live it, it won't come out of your horn.”
