Matthew w. shephard

When I step into each rehearsal it is my goal to not only model the positive characteristics I wish my students to develop, but also to find the traits within them that I can instill into my own teaching.  I aim to mirror the good I see in every child in my classroom and to reflect the light they bring to school each day.

My passion is to inspire students, educators, and administrators to continue to emphasize the importance of the arts within the schools and their  communities.

Whether through professional development, keynote speaking engagements, honor bands, clinics or daily rehearsals I would be honored to be a part of your event.
