IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENTS
Welcome all 2025 - 2026 Canyon Ridge Choir Students! As we begin the school year, begin looking over the entire choir website and what's available here. It's always helpful if you bookmark this site and keep checking it at least once a week to stay updated. If Mr. Hammersmith knows about something, it'll be placed on this website.
Here are a few things to look at while you're on this site. See if you can find them:
Home Page - What is your uniform for the concerts? What is your uniform if we're in a competition?
Music - True or False: I can practice my music directly off of this website.
Schedule - Locate all the events and place them in your family calendar that pertain to you. If you have questions to which event you're in, we'll clarify that in class and Parent Square. You can also look next to the event name to see if it's for you.
Forms & Documents - Locate the document that says Acknowledgement and give that a read to see about attendance policies and expectations for a Performance Based class.

Mr. Hammersmith
My name is Mr. Hammersmith and I’m the Music & Choir 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.
