My Students

Since I graduated from CHS in 2012, there have been 4 different program directors. The students who stayed have persevered and remained dedicated to their craft despite the turnover in leadership.

They are a passionate, hard-working and deeply community oriented group of individuals from all walks of life.

I want nothing more then to help them develop and flourish as people and musicians, but I need your help to give our students the tools to fulfill their dreams and goals.

My Project

At the High School level, students involved with Jazz Band go incredible lengths to be involved with the ensemble, waking up every morning in time to be at school by 6:30am. Yet, despite these challenges, my students are dedicated to working hard and developing their jazz skill set each and every day.

By providing my young saxophone players with these professional level Selmer C* 680 series mouthpieces, you are helping them take their sound to the next level!

Thank you for supporting the our Jazz Band, your monetary contribution helps my students overcome financial barriers to success and will give me the ability to provide exceptional equipment to future generations of students.
