Welcome
Be meticulous. Execute flawlessly. Play with purpose.
Music fulfills the creative aesthetic, and emotional needs of every student by finding and directing the power of personal creativity through exploration, improvisation and self- expression. Music is an active and engaging process of perception, reflection, and judgment requiring basic performance and aural skills on the part of all participants if it is to be successful. The ultimate goal of my classes is to develop thinking and feeling musicians that are capable of making informed and independent decisions about music.

provides the foundation for our curricular goals in the band/orchestra/jazz ensemble setting. Unlike other academic pursuits music demands both individual and group achievement in order for all ensembles to be highly successful. Because music is primarily an aesthetic education it has the power to develop empathy, compassion and understanding in our students as a natural outcome of music making.
