He attended the UNT International Summer Music Institute (ISMI) where he studied with distinguished faculty. He has also attended UTA Summer Strings, working with distinguished faculty to refine his technique and musicianship. His school orchestra directors — Brian Coatney, Carly Addison, and formerly Sadarius Slaughter — have each played key roles in his development and leadership.Beyond performing, Dylan has conducted the Wylie Community Orchestra and serves as a student intern with the McMillan Junior High Orchestra, assisting in rehearsals and sectionals as he grows his educational abilities. He was also a national qualifier with the Texas Association of Future Educators (TAFE) for designing and presenting a middle school orchestra lesson on the foundations of conducting, for which he received a Judge's Choice Scholarship for. He has recently designed a lesson plan for Musicianship for Young Orchestral Musicians, which has earned him a spot at the 2026 Teach Tomorrow Summit, where he hopes to qualify for Nationals once again.Drawn to playing a wide range of musical genres, Dylan finds special fulfillment in chamber music, where the absence of a conductor encourages players to listen, communicate, and create as one unified ensemble. Through every opportunity, he continues to grow as both a violinist and educator, inspired by the connections music creates within a community.
