Band/Guitar Ensemble Director

At HOST, I conduct the wind band ensembles, guitar ensembles, jazz ensembles and recorder class. The students range from age 5-18 years old on a wide variety of instruments. We learn all about music theory and techniques while preparing pieces to perform for the seasonal concerts. I love exposing developing musicians to a diverse repertoire of music; from Brahms to the Blues, we play it all.
