We are also offering the following co-curricular ensembles this year:

Shawn received his Bachelor's of Music in Music Education from the University of Southern Maine, where he was fortunate enough to study privately with the accomplished Nancy Smith (Percussion) and the esteemed Dr. Peter Martin (Conducting). The Music Ed Department at USM was directed by the incomparable Dr. Michele Kaschub.
Over the years, Shawn has participated in a number of local music ensembles, including performances put on by the University of Southern Maine School of Music, Casco Bay Wind Symphony, Acadia Wind Ensemble, the Boys Singers of Maine, Bates College, and many others. In addition to completing his Student Teaching in the Cape Elizabeth Middle & High School Music Departments, Shawn has also served as a music instructor for many other programs, including the Portland Youth Wind Ensemble (Gorham, ME), Boca Ciega High School (Gulfport, Florida), The University of Maine (Orono, ME), the Gorham School of Music (Gorham, ME), and the Sanford HS Music Department (Sanford, ME).
Shawn currently lives in a quiet neighborhood in Lewiston, ME with his fiancée Alex, our derpy Black Lab, Winnie, and our ridiculous cats, Roo & Pablo.
