Broken Arrow

Summary

Passionate about teaching life skills through instrumental music, I am eager to return to the classroom after several years. With a background as a third-generation Band Director, I offer a wealth of experience and a strong dedication to music education. My aim is to motivate and support students in achieving their full potential, both musically and personally, in a band environment.
