About Bob M.

5.0

(4)

I have spent the last 35 years teaching elementary and middle school band in a community known for its strong music program. I love teaching music to students.. especially the art of playing trumpet. I try to incorporate fun and enthusiasm in each lesson while accomplishing some short term and long term goals. The student is my ultimate focus during the lesson time. Sometimes my students arrive and have a total different idea of concepts or literature in which they wish to make progress different from what I had planned. We are always able to accommodate these shifts in plans while reaching our lesson goals. I enjoy working with students in the middle school ages. I find that this is when they make the greatest growth. There is nothing better that seeing a child's face as the bulbs go off concerning musical concepts. I believe that together we can reach great heights in your musical development. I invite you to try s lesson and make music meaningful in your life.

Dr. Mealey was the man who taught me my very first lesson on the tuba oh so many years ago. I have since had the privilege of performing professionally in over 40 states and 30 countries around the world as a soloist and as a member of Boston Brass. The years of private lessons I took with Dr. Mealey gave me the perfect musical foundation to eventually pursue my dreams. I still remember how much he cared for every single kid in each of his bands. There are people who are put on this earth to teach and he is one of those. I can't imagine how my life would have turned out if it weren't for Dr. Mealey. I can't recommend studying with him any more highly.

I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Mealey for fourteen years, first as a colleague and then as his supervisor. Bob is a very skilled musician and teacher. He has had many years of experience bringing his students' performance levels to new heights. He works hard and expects the same from his students. This winning combination has helped to create some very skilled musicians, with many of them going on to enjoy playing in ensembles for many years. It was always a pleasure to watch Dr. Mealey and his students perform in concert. The looks of joy were always evident with everyone in the house - members of the ensemble, its director, and the audience. You can't go wrong with Dr. Mealey.

Dr. Mealey had a tremendous impact on all of my children. He truly instilled in them a love of music and gave them an opportunity to really experiment and express themselves. Because of their solid foundation with Dr. Mealey, they played throughout high school and some even into the college level marching band! Dr. Mealey is a class act and knows how to connect with his students!

Experience

Band Director

Sep, 1982 - Jun, 2017

Sudbury Schools

This guy, Dr. Robert M., handed a random 4th grader in Sudbury, Massachusetts a tuba back in 1984. And I sure am glad he did. My first note was unbelievably bad. You know how you can play more than one note and yet no actual note at all? That was my start in music 33 years ago. Mr. M was an incredible teacher, patient beyond belief and as is the case with all great music educators, was passionately invested in the success of each one of his students. Tonight I am getting to attend his retirement party after 35 years of teaching. Can't believe how lucky I was to have him as my first teacher. Thank you for handing me that tuba, Mr. M. It has taken me around the world many times over and it sure beats working for a living. ❤️❤️❤️
