The Chippewa Valley Youth Symphony strives to provide a unique opportunity for area youth to develop and showcase their music artistry in the symphonic tradition. To support that effort, UWEC Music Education students are hired to be Section Leaders, working closely with the Music Director. Each instrument group has a section leader and they work in small groups with students to develop their music abilities and synthesis as a group.

This year’s UWEC Student Section Leaders are:

Nicholas Handahl – Woodwinds – hanahnm@uwec.edu

Abby Frederick – Percussion – frederaa@uwec.edu

Sarah Griesman – Viola – griesmsm@uwec.edu

Naomi Hasan – Violin 1 – hasannj@uwec.edu

Josh Mittendorf – Cello/Bass – mittenjr@uwec.edu

Matt Tiller - Brass - tillermh@uwec.edu

Jesse Traner – Violin 2 - tranerjm@uwec.edu
