Adsadang "Guitar" Rookkarangsarit

Adsadang "Guitar" Rookkarangsarit was born in Bangkok and began studying music in 2011 as a student member of the Wat Rajabopit School Marching Band, where he performed on French horn under the guidance of Ajarn Narin Phuwancharoen. During his time at Wat Rajabopit School, he participated in numerous marching band competitions and gained extensive ensemble experience, receiving many awards with the school’s music program. While in Grade 11, Adsadang developed a strong interest in the saxophone and began studying with Ajarn Supat Hanpattanachai. This marked the beginning of his dedicated path in saxophone performance. He continued to expand his training through competitions, workshops, and masterclasses, including the OBEC Music Talent Competition, where he advanced to the top 25, the D’Addario Saxophone Workshop, saxophone workshops with Ajarn Supat Hanpattanachai, and a saxophone masterclass with Johan Van der Linden. These experiences became an important foundation and inspiration for his decision to pursue music at the university level.
