Hello! My name is Mr. Pierce and I am the Music Teacher at St. Joseph. I am very excited to be working with your children and teaching them all of the wonderful things that music has to offer! Prior to joining the staff at St. Joseph I was a student at Central College in Pella, IA where I earned my degree in Music. After graduating, I worked in the Des Moines Metro area, serving as a choral director and musician through multiple churches. In 2019, I returned to academia to gain my license to teach. I was admitted into the Morningside Teacher Intern Program through Morningside College completed my official licensure in 2021. Outside of music and school, I enjoy running, hiking, and cooking. I look forward to getting to know you and our students this year! We have a wonderful set of performances and music selections planned and we cannot wait to share it all with you!
If you have any questions or concerns, I am always happy to meet and talk with parents. You can reach me with the contact information posted below:
