Candace (Downing) Bartel

I went to Western Michigan University from 1995-1999. I received my BM in 99, with a degree in music therapy. I did my internship in 99 at Fairview Developmental Center in Costa Mesa, CA. I am currently a board certified music therapist (MT-BC) working at Fairview Developmental Center as a music therapist and internship supervisor. Also working as an independant contractor in and around Los Angeles, CA. I do some teaching and performing as well. I live in Long Beach, CA, married to Brian Bartel (IAA 88-92, IAC 85-90,92, IAC Staff 93-95,97-98) since New Years Day 2000. We have 2 cats.

Jonna Bass Par

Was married in 2004, and currently lives in Chicago. This spring she and her husband welcomed baby Grace.

Kerin Black

As for me, at the moment I'm in Hamburg in Germany, with no plans to leave. I'm teaching English as a Foreign Language (to adults), freelancing on the horn - primarily doing solo and chamber recitals, and teaching Alexander Technique.

After 8 years in London, I moved on to Switzerland, South Africa, LA and finally Hamburg, where I plan to stay for the foreseeable future! I've only been here 4 months, but I'm having a great time. :)

Quincy Davis

Ive been in New York working as a full-time freelance jazz drummer. Since being here I’ve had the opportunities to record with, work with, and tour with many great musicians.

I currently live in Harlem. No wife, no kids. I’m age 27yrs old. If there are any IAA alums <<...>> who want to get in touch with me, please do so. It would be great to hear from you.
