Hi!  Welcome to my music web page.  I teach General Music to the 7th grade students.  I  also teach Instrumental Music for students in grades 6,7, and 8.  Mr. Andrew Seigel and I co-direct the Concert Band, Wind Ensemble, Show Choir and Treble Choir ( new Dec.2008).

In 2005 and 2006, our Concert Band and Show Choir have performed at "Music in the Parks" in Jackson, NJ.  They received 1st and 2nd place trophies with ratings of Excellent and Very Good.

A walk down our "Music Hallway of Fame" will show all of our plaques and pictures of past performance groups from the very opening of the Wm. Davies Middle School in September of 1988.
