orchestra director
My strengths lie in my ability to foster a student-centered classroom that focuses on instilling intrinsic motivation in students to fully explore and experience music on deep levels. I understand that because students have different interests and ability levels, I must provide varied opportunities for all students to grow.

In this busy world today, I believe in creating central locations for the many organizations to which I belong. That is why I have created and maintain many single-source websites for the good of all my colleagues and students. Check out my webpages at lzork.com (my orchestra), lzea.org (my teachers’ union), and nimcon.org (my state music contest organization).
