My name is Mr. Dawson. and I am the head band director and responsible for conducting the Honor Band, co-conducting the Concert Band and teaching all the woodwinds at Wedgwood Middle School. I also teach the clarinet class with Mrs. Calva at Wedgwood 6th Grade and assist with the Jazz Band at Southwest High School. I have 30 years of public school teaching experience and have been at Wedgwood MS since 2003. I grew up in Round Lake Beach, Illinois and attended the VanderCook College of Music in Chicago for my Bachelor of Music Degree (1990) and Masters Degree (2000). Besides Fort Worth, my teaching experiences were in Brownsville, Texas and in my hometown. My primary instrument is the Saxophone.
