MAESTRO GREGORY VAJDA

Thursday was a busy day! Gregory Vajda (Oregon Symphony Conductor) was our guest in Vocal Ensemble and Concert Choir. He worked a bit with the Vocal Ensemble and had a Q & A time with the Concert Choir. Carmen Byron came, too. She works with the education department of the Oregon Symphony

Everyone really enjoyed his visit and we all look forward to working with him in the future.

Mark May 1st and 2nd on your calendars now. May 1st is the day set for an All-District Concert and May 2nd is the day for the Community Concert. Next month the Percussion section will visit and share their expertise with all district students.

A LITTLE ABOUT ME

This is my 14th year as the Tillamook High School and Tillamook Junior High School Choir Director for the year 2015-2016. (My 28th year with Tillamook School District #9...I taught elementary general music for 14 years.) I taught 3 years elementary general music in Kelso, Washington before teaching in Tillamook.

At THS I direct Mixed Choir (a non-auditioned choir), Concert Choir (an auditioned competition choir) and Vocal Ensemble (an auditioned touring choir).

At TJHS I direct the Mixed Choir and teach Drama.

I love my job.

I enjoy building relationships with my students and I love the way they quickly learn new techniques and grow in their musicianship. My hope is that I nurture a passion for music in my students.

We're having a great time!
