Choir Director at Grandview HS
Jim worked with the CO All State Men's Jazz Choir in it's inaugural year. He did a fantastic job, and the men not only performed extremely well, they had a great time learning throughout the process. Jim has the perfect combination of extraordinary musical talent, and the ability to connect one-on-one with students. It is a magical process to watch!
