As a fifth-grader in Silver Bay, Minnesota Fedderly's first choice of instrument was drums, but there were too many drummers already.
He earned the money for his first tuba by cleaning out bear cages at the Split Rock Trading Post,[1] and went on to study at Northwestern University with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra's Arnold Jacobs.
[2] Fedderly is a notable teacher of tuba, euphonium, and general respiratory techniques for playing brass instruments.
[4] He is a member of the board of directors of the International Tuba Euphonium Association,[5] where he served as treasurer from 2008 to 2010,[6][7] and is the proprietor of the Baltimore Brass Company, a large brass sales and repair shop in Catonsville, just west of Baltimore.
