Mr. Souza currently serves as a music educator at McKinley Middle Academic Magnet School, where he teaches orchestra and piano. His goal is not only to teach students how to play an instrument, but also to help them develop confidence, discipline, creativity, teamwork, and a lifelong appreciation for music. He believes that the skills students develop through music extend far beyond the classroom and can positively influence every aspect of their lives.

One of the most rewarding aspects of teaching for Mr. Souza is watching students discover abilities they did not realize they had. Whether a student is picking up an instrument for the first time or working toward becoming a more advanced musician, he believes that every accomplishment deserves to be recognized. His classroom is built on high expectations, mutual respect, encouragement, and the understanding that mistakes are an important part of learning.

Mr. Souza hopes that his students leave his classroom with more than musical skills. He wants them to leave with greater confidence in themselves, the ability to work toward challenging goals, and memories of making music together that they will carry with them long after middle school.
