Hey everyone. My name is Todd and I am a percussionist here at Montclair State University. I hope to someday teach music in a high school or middle school. I love to play, write, perform, and just plain jam music. Actually, I find that I can learn more about a person from jamming with them than I can from talking with them. After all, music is a universal language.
I do teach now. I am the marching band director and jazz band instructor at Pompton Lakes High School and I love it. This year we are doing a classic rock show with songs like House of the Rising Run, Desperado, and Live and Let Die. It's cool.
Besides teaching and playing, my other big passion is animals. If I were to list all the pets that I have, it would jam the blog. I also work at an aquarium store in Clifton called Absolutely Fish. I love it there because everyone who works there is a fish dork just like me. My love of animals helps with stress too because if I get stressed with music, I can always turn to my animals and the same reversed.
Well I guess that's all I have for now. Oh, you can check out the blog that I use with my students. It helps tremendously. with communication and sharing of ideas. www.plhsband.blogspot.com
Let me know what you think. Thanks.
