Music finds its true power in the spaces where we gather, serving as a vibrant, breathing bridge for community, shared storytelling, and the pure joy of young musicians discovering their voice together. Every original score and arrangement from FoxFire Music Press is crafted to ignite that collective energy, transforming technical growth into an unforgettable, shared experience on stage.

As an active public school music educator directing middle school orchestras in Saint Cloud, Minnesota, Noah Braun collaborates daily with young musicians right where the music happens, in the classroom. He understands firsthand what makes a young string section lean in, what rhythms keep them engaged, and what melodies they will continue to hum down the hallways long after the rehearsal bell rings.

Braun holds a Bachelor of Arts in Music Theory and Composition from Saint Cloud State University and a Master of Music in Music Composition from the University of Colorado Boulder. Beyond the public school classroom, he conducts the Intermezzo ensemble of the Central Minnesota Youth Orchestra and as and the advanced orchestra ensemble at Mississippi Strings Camp.

Through FoxFire Music Press, Braun synthesizes his academic background in composition with his practical classroom expertise. Because he writes with a deep commitment to high-quality craftsmanship, his pieces purposefully challenge every student in the room to grow as independent, expressive musicians.
