Meet Aaron!
Aaron is a loving extrovert. He loves working with kids and is currently studying at BYU-Idaho in Elementary Education with a minor in music.
Music has been a huge part of Aaron's life. He has been a part of the top shows in his high school, and one of the more prestigious student-run choirs at BYUI, Apollo A-capella. He's also participated in countless festivals and collaborated with many talented musicians.
Aaron has also been playing the guitar and ukulele since he was about 11 years old. When speaking about the guitar he said, "It has been an important part of who I am and I feel if I can just have a guitar in my hands I can express myself in ways that I otherwise would not be able to."
Meet Ethan!
Ethan loves music and sharing it with other people. Having been mesmerized by the percussion since before he was tall enough to reach it, he has continued to develop an ability to express emotion through music. He studied percussion from a very young age under his mother, and is now pursuing a music minor with his chemistry degree. Ethan enjoys composing and arranging, performing impromptu pieces, and learning other pieces from different time periods. His goals as a teacher include helping to create confident musicians rather than merely competent pianists. He aims to help students use their study of the piano to develop a deep appreciation for music, gain learning skills that can be applied to all of life, and gain confidence by recognizing their own potential. Students can expect him to be devoted to their success.
Meet Seth!
Seth is a man who has been passionate about music his entire life! As a student of BYUI studying Biomedical Science, in his freetime Seth enjoys playing and teaching music. Ever since he started kindergarten his grandfather began teaching him piano lessons. Later on Seth learned to play the guitar, bass, drums, ukulele, and violin. Growing up in school he became the lead guitarist for Jazz Band, and later on became his high school’s guitar teacher. Teaching many students at a time, Seth learned more about how to help students grow and learn better when it comes to playing instruments. Throughout his highschool experience, Seth played in many bands: a country band as a bassist, a rock band as a guitarist and lead vocalist, and as well as in two metal bands as the rhythm guitarist. He has played countless shows throughout his experience and even recorded 2 full albums with his main band “Prosperous”. Before leaving to serve an LDS mission, Seth recorded his first solo album, which consisted of soft rock/alternative songs on the piano and guitar. As he is in school, he is currently working on his second solo album, and 3rd album with one of his old rock bands. Seth is excited to help others learn how to express themselves through the power of music at Spokane Academy of Music
