Experienced Music Educator

  • Over the past 30 years, I have built or rebuilt music programs at all levels including the college, private and public school settings. Historically, I have been able to quickly assess, evaluate and implement the needs to continue building or maintaining programs; making a smooth transition for the sake of the program and students was a priority. Through hard work and dedication to the goal and vision, these programs were recognized at the state and national levels in a relatively short period of time.
  • I have also done extensive curriculum work at the district and state level and have recently gained certification as an adjudicator for Michigan Schools Band and Orchestra Association.
