Linden Lantz has been immersed in music for as long as he can remember—after all, his parents met while playing saxophone together in their school band. Inspired by their love of music, Linden picked up the saxophone in sixth grade and went on to have a formative and unforgettable band experience at La Porte High School in Indiana. He later attended Lee University in Cleveland, Tennessee, where his saxophone professor, the influential Alan Wyatt, helped deepen Linden’s passion for music and shape his vision for a future in music education.
