Welcome to the WCL Bands Website! My name is Mr. Napier, and I cannot wait to make music with you this year! I eagerly look forward to meeting each and every one of you as we explore our inner creativity and share it through music with others.
All my life, I have always had a passion for performing and teaching music. From beginning piano lessons when I was 4 years old to performing and competing across the globe, music has always been a part of my life. Learning the saxophone in 4th grade, as I grew older, I began to teach music lessons to elementary, middle, and high school students. From that moment on, I knew I wanted to be a teacher.
After studying Music Education at The College of New Jersey, then pursuing my Master's Degrees in Saxophone Performance and Jazz Improvisation at the University of Michigan (Go Blue!), I am excited to be back home in Bergen County, NJ teaching music, giving back to a community that has already given me so much.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to me with any questions or concerns you might have; you can find my contact information at the bottom of this website. Once again, I am excited to welcome you to our music program -– I am so thrilled for our year ahead!
Musically yours,
Mr. Napier
