My Students

My students are all over the place! I mean that in the best way. I love to see them learn more about music. They all want to grow in their knowledge of different instruments. They love learning in so many different ways and I want to be able to provide for the various routes to learning music theory and music notation and music performance.

All of my band students work very hard and deserve the best and that is all I want to be able to do for them.

My Project

One area that is probably not talked about enough is instrument cleanliness and student health. This area is one that I feel I need to spend more time on with my students when we return to school. After having time to sit and think while doing Distance Learning with my band kids, I realized I never took a great deal of instructional time to talk to them and show them the importance of caring for their instruments and keeping them clean.

Please help me make sure that every flute, clarinet, bass clarinet, oboe, bassoon, and alto saxophone player in my band receives instrument specific cleaning supplies.

These supplies will allow me to hand every student that plays one of the above instruments cleaning supplies when we return, if funded, and show them how to clean their instrument on a regular basis.
