Shawn Jones

03-14-99: Shawn Jones, a native of Miami, Florida, is in his final year pursuing a Master's Degree at Rice University. A pleasure to have at Carmel, Shawn has played the Lord's Prayer on his bassoon at the Sunday service. Well traveled, he has studied music from coast to coast and sea to sea, working with numerous well-known conductors and musicians while touring the United States, Russia and Japan. Studying at The Juilliard School of Music and with various musicians from the New York Philharmonic and Philadelphia orchestras, Shawn certainly has fine-tuned his skills. In addition to school, he still finds time to teach private bassoon lessons in the Alief, Spring, and Aldine School Districts. Hoping to have a career as an orchestral or chamber musician, Shawn is well on his way to achieving that goal. As guest speaker at Carmel, Shawn will show how focus and a positive mental attitude can elevate one to achieving anything a person desires.
