Hi! I have been a band director at Rosemount Middle School for over 20 years.  As a teacher, I have worked with beginning musicians all the way up to high school All-State players! I also teach college students at the University of Minnesota how to be music teachers.

I went to the University of Minnesota for my undergraduate degree and my PhD. I went to Northwestern University in Evanston, IL for my master's degree.  I have met so many amazing teachers and mentors from all over the world.

I live in St. Paul with my husband and middle school son (who plays the trombone).  In my spare time, I play flute in the Encore Wind Ensemble. My favorite foods are pizza and chocolate.

Greetings! I am excited to teach band this year and love being a part of students’ musical journeys. I have been teaching band in ISD 196 since 2005, first at Apple Valley High School, and then here at Rosemount Middle School starting in 2011. I have taught at Roosevelt High School in Minneapolis, Hudson High School in Hudson, Wisconsin, and at the McNally Smith College of Music, formerly in St. Paul. I also currently teach the jazz ensembles at the University of St. Thomas.

Originally from New Jersey, I received my degree in trombone performance from the Berklee College of Music in Boston, my undergraduate degree in music education from the University of Minnesota, and attended the University of St. Thomas for education towards my master’s degree. Additionally, I am an endorsing artist for Edwards Instruments.

My spouse and I have three daughters, two that are still in middle school, playing trumpet and clarinet. I like to get out and ride my bike when the weather is nice, as well as dabbling in just about any sports my daughters are playing for the season. I also love playing trombone and regularly play professionally around the Twin Cities area.

Hello! My name is Mr. Shervey and I will be your child's Band Director!  I am so excited to meet your child and begin our learning journey together in Band here at Rosemount Middle School! Here's a little bit about me:

I am entering my 18th year of teaching and have taught music across all grade levels K-12 in Minnesota, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, and Iowa.  I am a graduate of Rosemount HS (GO IRISH!!!) and have a bachelors degree in Music Education and Percussion Performance from the University of Minnesota and a masters degree in Music Composition from the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester, UK.

I live in Woodbury with my wife Sarah and my two kids Edmund (age 9) and William (age 7).  I love teaching students and composing/arranging music.  I also enjoy performing as a pianist and percussionist in bands across the Twin Cities.  My hobbies include: cooking, building cool stuff with LEGOs with my kids, and spending time outdoors camping, hiking, and geocaching with my family.  

Let's have an AWESOME year together here at Rosemount Middle School!
