Welcome & Bio


Mr. Campbell is a recent graduate of Campbell University ('23), earning his bachelors degree in Music Education with Teaching Licensure. Mr. Campbell began his educational career just down the road at Mitchell Community College. There, he received his Associates Degree in Fine Arts. He then transferred to Campbell University to finish his degree in Music Education. At Campbell, he participated in Marching band, pep band, small ensembles (brass ensemble), Jazz Band/Combos, and performed solo concerts. Mr. Campbell has also had numerous performing experiences in different communities all around the state such as the Statesville Community Band, Lake Norman Orchestra, and other ensembles. Mr. Campbells philosophy surrounding teaching music is to spread the love and appreciation for music that he has with students of the future generations. He wants the students he teaches to find their own appreciation and love for music, in hopes that they can continue to incorporate music somehow into their lives past their time in class and the Hickory High School band program.
