A graduate of the Royal Conservatory of Music in Holland, Schultz also holds several degrees from the California Institute of the Arts and the California State University of San Francisco. Currently an Associate Teaching Professor in Music History at Carnegie Mellon University, Schultz’s engaging teaching style has left its mark at California State University at Long Beach and Sacramento, the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, Holy Names College, the University of Southern California, and the University of California at Davis and Los Angeles. Mr. Schultz was also a featured faculty member of the Jeanne Baxtresser International Flute Master Class at Carnegie Mellon University and at the International Baroque Institute at Longy School of Music.

Since its debut in the fall of 2002, Carnegie Mellon Baroque has performed on the Carnegie Mellon campus and at Carnegie Music Hall, opening for the Pittsburgh Chamber Music Society Concerts Series. The ensemble is dedicated to the playing of 18th century music on modern instruments while remaining true to the concepts of historically informed performance. In the Spring of 2006, the ensemble gave a special Royal Performance for the Prince and Princess of Chimay, Belgium.
