Hello! Howdy! Bonjour! As-salamu 'alaykum! Shalom! Hola!
My name is Mike and I have the honor and privelige to teach music at Marcy Open! I will be teaching general music to all students in grades K, 2, 4 and 5. I will also be teaching a Middle School guitar class this year. Andrew and I are both thrilled about the progress the band students have been making and their ownership over building a strong tradition of musical development at Marcy!
I grew up in the Twin Cities area and graduated from Osseo Senior High in 2004.
I play tuba professionally in two different bands in the area: Jack Brass Band, and McNasty Brass Band. These bands have allowed me to travel all over and to hear
This year in music we will be exploring music through movement, play, singing, games, composing, and improvisation. There will be exposure to multiple cultures and time periods embedded within the repertoire. Our curriculum teaches music literacy while allowing the students to carve their own path in creating their music.
I am beyond excited for this school year and the many years to follow at Marcy Open!
Mike
