ܳԲis a proud graduate of our College of Music’s flute studio where the support she received in flute, Dalcroze, jazz, ecology/biology and writing—and, most importantly, the creative fuel from Professor Christina Jennings and studio colleagues—inspired her to think beyond the traditional boundaries of building a musical community. Shubin is an Ambassador Clinician Artist for the Wm.S. Haynes Flute Company and serves as the assistant principal/piccolist of the Steamboat Symphony Orchestra. A Suzuki, Dalcroze and integrative educator—and modeling the College of Music’suniversal musician mission—she also co-founded Colorado-based nonprofit, creating programming that supports the balanced development of individuals, families and communities by connecting music, movement, art and science. Shubin is currently a PhD candidate at the University of Luxembourg combining her passion for science, Dalcroze, Suzuki and performance by researching how movement impacts instrumental learning in ages 4-8 and older. Additionally, as a Ukrainian-American, she is working to preserve current and rediscover past flute works by Ukrainian composers, and she’s looking forward to supporting “Youth Flute Day” at Flauta Mundi: Global Voices of the Flute at the 2024 National Flute Association Convention in San Antonio, Texas.Photo credit: Rebekah West.
