MWSU FLUTES
BAILEIGH KIENZLE
2021 - Social Work
My name is Baileigh Kienzle. I am from Smithville, MO and a junior here at MWSU! I am a transfer student from MCC, and a social work major. This is my first year here at MWSU after transferring and I love it! Band has always been a favorite hobby for me and I’m so happy to be able to do it in college. I’m not a music major and I am in college band so you can do it too! A lot of the time it feels like you need to be a music major to be in the program and but that is not the case, everyone is welcome here!
MADELYN NELSON
3rd Year Business Marketing
My name is Madelyn Nelson and I am a 3rd year business marketing student at MWSU. I have played flute for the past 11 years among many other instruments including trumpet, bassoon, mellophone and classical guitar. I take flute lessons along with being a member of Symphonic Winds. Although I’m busy pursuing my future career in marketing, I make time to also pursue my musical endeavors.
