Mr. Bendorf is excited to begin his 20th year of teaching, all of which have been at North Shore Senior HS. He is a 2004  Magna Cum Laude graduate of the University of North Texas where he earned his degree in music with a concentration in voice. Choirs under his direction have consistently earned Sweepstakes at our annual UIL Concert and Sight Reading Evaluation for over a decade. Over the past 19 years of teaching AP Music Theory, his passing rate has never dropped below 50%. 

Mr. Bendorf has been happily married for the last 16 years to his wife, Laura. They have a beautiful five year old son. Mr. Bendorf's hobbies include video games, movies, and television. His wife taught him to crochet 20 years ago and thus his love of crafts began. He crochets, cross stitches, diamond painting (look it up), and does 3D printing.
