Currently, Mr. Heinlein is pursuing a Doctor of Musical Arts degree at the University of Michigan, working with Fritz Kaenzig. He has also worked extensively with Yasuhito Sugiyama and Craig Sutherland.

An active performer, Mr. Heinlein holds the position of Principal Tuba in both the Akron Symphony Orchestra and the Erie Philharmonic Orchestra.
