Director Bio
Passionate about making music with people, self-proclaimed “band geek,” Taina Lorenz,
joins us from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Back home, she is Music Director of the
Cosmopolitan Music Society, a large adult community music organization of over 300
band, choir, and jazz musicians from beginner to semi-professional. Along with her
administrative duties, Taina conducts the Monday and Tuesday Bands, Summer Band,
and Chamber Winds. Involved in many areas of the community, Taina also conducts the
Edmonton Schoolboys Alumni Band (The Edmonton Seniors Band), is Associate
Conductor with Mission Hill Brass Band, and teaches trumpet privately to students of all
ages. With her solid experience as both a conductor and trumpeter, including eighteen years of teaching instrumental music with Edmonton Catholic Schools, Taina is sought
after as a clinician and guest conductor in Edmonton, Western Canada, and the United
States. Taina has served on the board of directors for the Alberta Band Association, the Joint
Planning Committee for Music Conference Alberta, and is a member of Phi Beta Mu.
A performer for most of her life, Taina has played trumpet and euphonium in a wide
range of ensembles, including wind ensemble, concert band, symphony and pit
orchestras, brass bands, jazz bands, chamber winds, and as a soloist. She has conducted
wind ensemble, concert band, brass band, chamber winds, chorus, and chamber
orchestra.
Taina holds a Bachelor of Education in Music Education, a Master of Music in Wind
Conducting from the University of Alberta, and is thrilled to be working on her PhD in
Music Education at the University of Washington. Her research interests include musical
perception and cognition, particularly in adults, instrumental methods and conducting
pedagogy.
