Bio

I am a classical vocalist, jazz saxophonist, and bluegrass guitarist. I teach music history, AP music theory, guitar, and choir at Noblesville High School. Next year I'll be teaching a class in songwriting and recording. Other duties that I have at school are show band director for the show choirs and saxophone instructor for the marching band. I'm married and have an awesome six year old daughter.

We need more music teachers in FAWM! Maybe we can learn something (I certainly could) .

It's 7/4? Can't say I noticed when I was writing and recording it...!

Hey there! I taught guitar and choir at a High School in Nevada before moving to Utah. Hard to find time for FAWM with a gig like that! I'm excited to learn you have a songwriting and recording class at your school... we were trying to get one implemented in Nevada but it never quite materialized. Best of luck!

Mr. Jasper! Monica Kinsey and me are playing at Noble Coffee and Tea tomorrow night from 6-8. It would be lovely if you could make it! Yeah, this isn't FAWM related (mostly) but I can't think of any other way of contacting you easily. Hope to see you there.

Thanks for making me feel welcome. My name is actually Jay. My saxophone is a 1958 Selmer Mark VI. But I always get called Mark on message boards, so you guys aren't the first.

Welcome, Mark! I'm a big Wilco fan too.
And a teacher.
And a dad.
