Brett Krohn graduated with a B.A. in Computer Science from Bethel College in 1987.  Serious reflection during January of his senior year in college led to the decision to pursue music education following graduation.  Two more years of classes plus a semester of student teaching in Anoka, MN resulted in a B. Mus. Ed. degree, awarded in 1990.

In May 2005, Mr. Krohn graduated with a Master of Music degree, with an emphasis in Wind Band Conducting from St. Cloud State University.

Mr. Krohn is in his sixteenth year of teaching.  His teaching career started in Cambridge, MN in 1990 where he taught 5th and 6th grade band until 1997.  The past nine years have been invested in band students attending Robbinsdale Cooper High School in New Hope, MN where he is responsible for each facet of the wind band program which includes 165 students in three band ensembles, pep band, musical pit orchestra, two jazz bands, lessons, marching band (excluding the past two years) and all the administration that accompanies a successful program.

Mr. Krohn's trumpet playing has taken him all over the world.  Ensembles in which he has performed have traveled to 13 countries overseas and 44 states in the U.S. 

Mr. Krohn resides in Monticello, MN with his wife and two children.
