Hello! I'm Mr. Stanford. I graduated from NAU in December 2013 with a Bachelor's degree in Music Education.
Previous Experience:
-
Aspire Online Academy (DVUSD): 6-8 General Music, Guitar 1 & 2, Music Theory 1 & 2, Music Humanities, Work Experience, 9-12 Advanced Study Skills
-
Gavilan Peak School (DVUSD): choir, general music, guitar
-
New River School (DVUSD): band, choir, general music
-
Bellair Elementary (DVUSD): band, choir, general music
-
Desert Foothills Jr. High (WESD): orchestra, choir, piano, guitar, general music
I grew up in and attended DVUSD schools as a child while my mother was a DVUSD teacher, so it really feels like my home. I am an alumni of Mirage Elementary School, Desert Sky Middle School, and Deer Valley High School. My wife also teaches in the district.
In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my wife and 2 kids, as well as our 2 dogs and 2 cats. I also enjoy composing and rearranging music from time to time and performing on the trumpet, my best instrument, when the opportunity arises. Baseball is my favorite sport, and I am a die-hard Arizona Diamondbacks fan (mostly).
