Chris Dickey, originally from Collinsville, IL, has been playing the euphonium since he was ten years old. He is currently pursuing the degree Master of Arts in euphonium performance and pedagogy at the University of Iowa where he studies with John Manning. Chris serves as the tuba-euphonium studio graduate teaching assistant where his duties include teaching lessons, assisting with the University of Iowa Tuba-Euphonium Ensemble, and coaching undergraduate brass chamber ensembles. Prior to attending Iowa, he earned a Bachelor of Music degree from Eastern Illinois University while studying euphonium with Allan Horney.
