I have been playing the clarinet for 8 years, but have been in music for 11 years. I have been 

given multiple opportunities to be involved out side of school in the Des Lee Music and Arts Festival, 

Bi-State Honor Band Festival, a member of the North County Concert Band, Ritenour High School head drum major, and an inductee of the Tri-M Music Honor Society

 I discovered my passion for music in 3rd grade when I picked up the guitar, and I’ve been playing ever since. While I enjoy all genres, I have a deep love for blues, country, and classic rock. In 6th grade, I began playing the clarinet, which led to four years of marching band in high school, where I earned the roles of section leader and first chair clarinet in the wind ensemble and marching band during my senior year. I also played bass and electric guitar in the jazz band for two years. Music has always been my driving force, and I’m excited to share that passion with others through teaching.

Hello, my name is Francisco and I am originally from Mexico. I’ve been playing the violin since elementary school and played  throughout high school. I am currently attending WashU and playing the violin has turned into a hobby for me. 

During Highschool I was in metro 8 for 3 years, St. Charles Youth orchestra for 2 years, I was the drum major of the KnightPride marching band at Francis Howell North for 2 years, and I currently play in the UMSL Wind Ensemble, Orchestra, and Pep Band
