About this WEBSITE
This website has been created to provide band directors and students with informational materials and supplemental practice tools for snare drumming. Because percussionists serve such a unique role in concert bands, they are all too frequently left behind in a school band setting, and hunger for additional resources.
This project has been completed in partial fulfillment of the Master of Music degree with Specialization in Music Education from the American Band College of Central Washington University.

About the Author
Jordan Paulus is the band director at Baker Prairie Middle School in Canby, Oregon. He earned his Bachelor of Arts in Music Education from George Fox University, where he was also honored with the school’s 2016 Outstanding Music Graduate Award. Paulus’s musical journey began when he decided to take up the French horn in sixth grade band class. In high school, he also learned to play trumpet for jazz band, and took an interest in music composition as well. Profoundly inspired by his excellent middle and high school band directors, Paulus realized at quite an early age that he was interested in becoming a band director just like them.
In addition to teaching and performing music, Paulus continues to actively compose and arrange for concert band, and his compositions have been performed by a number of bands in the Pacific Northwest. Outside the field of music, he enjoys hiking, cycling, birding, and camping in the beautiful state of Oregon. He looks forward to continuing his work and introducing more and more young students to the wonderful world of music-making.
