Shaping Your Journey with Michael Baker

In this episode of Shaping Your Journey, my special guest Michael Baker explains his varied journey growing up in a musical environment where even his church choir in Edmonton, Manitoba was made up of very talented singers who went on to be professionals. His interest in the world of percussion led him to becoming a percussion major, a symphony performer and a soloist, and a successful creator of “Sofbags” cases for percussion instruments and MB mallets - specially designed and manufactured custom-made tympani mallets. He is the founding member of Symphony Nova Scotia, as well as founding principal timpanist of the Mexico City Philharmonic.
