Don Peterson first became involved at BYU with the yearly summer camps. After his time in basic training, he came back to the campus and met his wife. “I decided I wanted to be a music teacher in 9th grade. I loved music. I loved working with people and teaching. I could do both at the same time. It would be a good life.” Peterson loved his years at BYU and has kept in contact with quite a few of his students.
Peterson has been hard at work judging competitions and festivals and being involved in schools from BYU Idaho to the University of Missouri Kansas City Conservatory.
