She also holds Master of Music and Bachelor of Arts degrees from Arizona State University, studying under Dr. Deanna Swoboda, Sam Pilafian, and Dr. Pat Stuckemeyer. Specializing in breathing techniques and performance psychology, Kelli emphasizes a science-based, music-driven approach to brass playing.
