Mark Williams Jr

Summary

My name is Mark Williams and I will be graduating this May with my bachelors degree in instrumental music education. I have been a musician since I was 13 years old and since then I’ve had the opportunity to play with a variety of professional ensembles. I have also played at professional venues with the UCM percussion ensemble, UCM wind Symphony, and Pinnacle Winds symphony.

I am currently student teaching at Blue Springs high school, where I get to work with high school percussion, ninth grade concert band, sixth grade percussion, sixth grade saxophones, and sixth grade flutes.

I believe my skills and knowledge of the wide variety of instruments in band would be a great asset for the school district and the band program.
