Mr. Hammersmith

My name is Mr. Hammersmith and I’m the Music, Choir, & Theater Teacher at Canyon Ridge School! Music is an important part of my life and I enjoy educating others to find their love for music. It’s a critical part of our education and creates a well-rounded student enhancing their creativity and expression. I grew up and received my education in Colorado. I received my Bachelor of Arts at Colorado State University in Music Education and my Master of Arts Degree at Adams State University in Music Education. I perform as a vocalist and instrumentalist on a variety of instruments. In my spare time, I compose and arrange music. I’m also a private studio instructor educating students on all Woodwind & Brass Instruments, Piano, and Vocal. When I’m not teaching or playing music, I spend time with my family, cook, travel, tour, and volunteer. My goals as an educator is to provide a safe and structured learning environment that provides numerous opportunities for performances, growth, and development in the music field.
