Classmate story

Lyndsey Aitken has been intrigued by music since her early years growing up in Sweet Home Oregon. As a child Lyndsey was a self proclaimed "band geek" playing the flute for eleven years, as well as the baratone, saxophone, and upright base.

Lynsdey's facination with music began in elementary school when she met her biggest musical inspiration in her life, her band teacher, Ken Collins. She played music with Mr. Collins for many years as he was her band teacher through junior high school.

Lyndsey got her start in musical performance with a "jam band" also known as a garage band when she was much younger.

She has participated in many musical events since she fell in love with music. Her musical accomplishments include playing in multiple jazz combos, playing in live concert bands, attending all state for the flute in high school, and she even auditioned for the Marine Band.

Lyndsey is now attending Linn Benton Community College with hopes of transferring to University of Oregon to recieve her masters degree.
