Mr. Beukelman has been with the Riverside Unified School District for 8 years and has been teaching music for 21 years.  He has been playing the trumpet for over 36 years (that's a long time!) and has worked with quite a few musicians that you may have heard about.  Some of the musicians include artists Prince, Marc Anthony, Oscar D'Leon, Arturo Sandoval and the Gipsy Kings.  Mr. Beukelman loves teaching band because it is so much fun to show students how to appreciate the language of music and where it can lead you in your life.
