Mr. Lee

Director Questionnaire

1. How long have you been a band director and what do you enjoy the most about your job?

27 Years. I enjoy the concerts the most.

6 Years. I was a school administrator.

2. What inspired you to become a band director?

A love for music and being in a successful band program as a student.

3. What techniques do you use to motivate students?

Positive feedback. I try to provide playing opportunities outside the band room such as attending band camp.

4. Which is your most favorite piece of music the band is working on right now?

African Bell Carol

5. Describe your most positive teaching experience.

It's great watching your students be successful. For three years in Arrow I had more students make the District Honor Band than any other school.

 6. Describe your most negative.

It's never fun dealing with scheduling conflicts. I've had half my band students unable to do a concert when school events get rescheduled.

7. What events do you and the Junior High band look forward to the most this year?

Going to the band (large group contest).

8. What do you think is needed in order to improve the band program?

We need to have a Jazz Band be a part of the band curriculum. I'd also like to see another band director be a part of the staff so we'd have three band directors.
