Woodwind Instruction for Schools

I am currently the woodwind instructor for the four middle schools in Littleton Public Schools. I have also worked with woodwinds at Ken Caryl Middle School, Dakota Ridge High School, and Heritage High School.  If you are interested in having me come and teach woodwinds (private lessons or small groups) at your school, please reach out to me at mariedwatkins1111@gmail.com.
