Eagle Ridge Academy

• Band/Orchestra Director

  • Feb 2013 - Present

  I teach band and orchestra to grades 6-12 at this public charter school. It has a focus of Classical Education, meaning the focus of the school is steeped in the trivium (grammar, logic, rhetoric) and the quadrivium (arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomy). Students learn Latin and read The Great Books of the Western World along with original sources. We use intentional character education to help guide students to not only be good students, but virtuous human beings. I teach band and orchestra to grades 6-12 at this public charter school.
