 Keith is a passionate and highly committed music educator and has been teaching privately since his senior year of high school. With over 20 years of professional performing and teaching experience, Keith's private students repeatedly receive high marks at their District and State Solo and Ensemble Festivals, and many have earned membership in the Kalamazoo Junior Symphony Orchestra, and the Michigan All State Band and Orchestra. Some of his former students have chosen to major in music and pursue careers in performance and education. Keith has worked closely with band directors from the Parchment, Gull Lake, Plainwell, and Mattawan School Districts, and for 10 years was the adjunct trumpet instructor at Kalamazoo College.
