jami
Hello! My name is Jami and I will be teaching instrumental music lessons at Rob's Midlothian Music Lessons. I recently graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University with a bachelor's degree in Music Education with a concentration in instrumental music. The instrument I majored in is the tuba, and my secondary instrument is voice. I currently teach 4th and 5th grade band in Richmond Public Schools and I am a teacher at SPARC. I currently play in The Richmond Brass and Percussion Consort, The Richmond Pops, and I freelance when I can. Music has changed my life in the best way possible and I am so grateful I get to share that with my students, colleagues, and anyone who wants to listen or learn. I look forward to meeting the musicians I will be working with at Robert Alexander's Music Lessons.
