Vitae and Bio
Raised in Dairyville, California, Joe Good was involved in music from an early age. At Lassen View Elementary School, he was involved in every choral production from Kindergarten through 8th grade, and took up the trumpet in 5th grade. When he reached high school, he continued in the Red Bluff High School marching and concert band for all four years. Additionally, every summer thereafter until college, he participated in the Tehama County Band, performing publicly every week. He took some trumpet lessons his Junior and Senior year from Mike Shepard.
After graduating from High School, he moved to Redding, CA to attend Shasta College as a Music Major for the next three years. He studied trumpet with Dr. Larry Grandy and Dr. Richard Fiske, as well as participating in numerous ensembles. He also studied voice privately with Lynn Burkhart.
Upon completion of his AA and Certificate of Music, he moved to San Diego, CA, where he would reside for the next eight years. At San Diego State University, while majoring in Music Education, he studied trumpet with Calvin Price, and had the privilege of studying music and jazz theory with Dr. David Ward-Steinman and Rick Helzer. He also participated in many ensembles, including the inception of Mariachi Azteca de SDSU – a student-run group which performs for various functions and events in San Diego County.
After graduating with his Bachelors degree in 2002, he went on to study voice with Norm Boaz at Music for Kids (which led to a position as the resident trumpet instructor there). Over the next few years, he would continue to teach trumpet, and perform for a variety of other projects. In 2003, he studied Jazz Guitar with a fellow teacher at Centre City Music, Pat Danna. This helped to rekindle his interest in Jazz music, which he readily incorporated into his teaching, and went on during 2005 and 2006 to study with Gilbert Castellanos – a renowned Jazz Trumpeter, and now the Jazz Trumpet instructor at University of Southern California.
In 2005, in an effort to become more knowledgeable about the technical aspects of music, he began studies at Mira Costa College in Oceanside, California. He quickly discovered a way into the North San Diego County music scene, and was leader of the Jammin’ Toast Jazz Band, where he enjoyed a small combo setting, and composing and performing original music. In late 2006, this small band was gaining membership so fast that it transformed into the Mira Costa Latin Jazz Orchestra, and was taken over by Mario Gonzalez – a trumpeter of international repute, who now teaches at Mira Costa College as adjunct faculty.
In 2007, after graduating from Mira Costa with highest honors, he moved to Vancouver, WA. He since has found numerous performing groups, worked at Guitar Center Clackamas, and has found many excellent students in the area. He also keeps busy recording, running live sound and working as a consultant for studios and venues.
