Paul Krueger is a trumpeter, composer, arranger, and educator, and the newly appointed Director of Jazz Studies at the University of Oregon School of Music and Dance. He is the director of the Oregon Jazz Ensemble and teaches courses in jazz pedagogy and jazz arranging, as well as lessons in jazz trumpet, improvisation, and composition/arranging.
A versatile trumpeter and improviser, Krueger has also published numerous works for large jazz ensemble. A three-time winner of a Herb Alpert Young Jazz Composer Award, his music for large jazz ensemble has been performed internationally by artists such as Steve Wilson, Kendrick Scott, and Eric Alexander. He performs frequently in the Pacific Northwest with artists such as Joe Manis, Roger Woods, Keith Brown, and more.
Inspired to pursue a career in music education by his parents–both music teachers–Krueger brings a wealth of expertise and a dynamic approach to his teaching. Outside of his academic commitments, he is dedicated to engaging with students in the community and fostering a love for jazz and improvisation among youth. He is highly sought-after as a clinician and holds key roles such as the director of the UO Summer Jazz Improvisation Camp, co-director of the Oregon Jazz Festival, and director of the UO Day of Improvisation, an annual, free one-day workshop tailored for high school students.
Before his appointment at the University of Oregon, Krueger served as trumpet instructor at Willamette University and music instructor at Lane Community College. Under his direction, the Lane Jazz Ensemble was recognized as the community college winner in the large jazz ensemble category of the Downbeat Student Music Awards. Krueger holds a Bachelor of Music Education degree from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (2009), and a Master of Music degree in Jazz Studies from the University of Oregon (2011).
