Aside from freelance and recital work as a bassoonist, PJ Woolston has worked in college admissions and financial aid for over 20 years, including for CCM in Cincinnati and the USC Thornton School of Music in Los Angeles. He is known for an innovative and effective recruitment approach that prioritizes filling knowledge gaps and creating learning and growth opportunities over promoting the organizations he represents (see www.woolstoninventive.com). Currently Dr. Woolston serves as Vice Chancellor for Enrollment Management at IU Indianapolis in Indiana. He is also a champion for new and commissioned music for the bassoon, particularly in chamber setting with voice as he is married to an operatic soprano. He holds a Doctor of Education from USC, a Master of Music in Bassoon Performance from the University of Michigan, and a Bachelor of Arts in French from Brigham Young University.
