Pacific Ridge School

At various points throughout my time at Pacific Ridge School, I taught choir, jazz-rock ensemble, orchestra, AP music theory, musical theater, and digital music production. Most recently, I have been the choir director and arts administrator. Below are some samples of choral performances I conducted at Pacific Ridge School.

 

Since I began developing the choral program in 2009, participation in the choir has increased to an average of 50 students each year. The choir has continuously earned gold awards at the World Strides Music Festival each year. As is evident in these recordings, Pacific Ridge students are passionate about music, love to learn, and pursue academic and artist excellence with purpose!
