Meet Mr. Tag! 

Hello LIS Band students and parents! I will be teaching Band and 6th Grade General Music this year. I am excited to meet you all! 

I began playing Saxophone when I was a 4th Grader at Lawrence Intermediate School. I have learned many instruments over the years. I hold a Bachelor's of Science Degree in Music Education in 2002 at Elizabethtown College in Elizabethtown, PA. I also hold a Master's Degree in Educational Technology from The American College of Education which I recieved in 2022. Before teaching at LIS, I taught for 15 years at Lawrence Middle School. I continue to enjoy performing in various jazz bands and music ensembles when not teaching. I also am the conductor of our town's community band called The Lawrence Community Concert Band.
