Derek B.

Music Director | Profe de Musica | Freelance Writer | Editor

I'm a United States-born writer, editor, and music educator with 13 years of teaching history and experience with dozens of bands from a wide range of musical styles. I have a passion for elevating the writing of others and sifting through information, and a love for poetic language and the creative process. My passion lies in musical realization and creative endeavors, but my brain is built for informational processing and organization. Communication is an important virtue for me, and has served me well with the various groups and programs I have had the honor of working with or directing. *Soy percusionista y educadora musical residente en Argentina y nacida en Estados Unidos. Me apasiona el proceso de edición y fijación de información, y me encanta el lenguaje poético y el proceso creativo. Mi pasión radica en la interpretación musical, pero mi cerebro está construido para procesar y organizar la información. La comunicación es una virtud importante para mí y me ha servido bien a través de los diversos grupos de una variedad de edades con los que he tenido el honor de trabajar o dirigir.
