I have worked as a music educator in the public school system for over 8 years. I have been a musician all my life, and it is an integral part of my life. I play many different instruments but my primaries are trumpet and piano. I also play guitar, bass, and drums. I have composed original music and arranged for many different types of instrumental and vocal ensembles, including concert bands, jazz bands, marching bands, and show choirs with instrumental parts.
