It was the memorable high school summer music programs at Northwestern University that struck a chord in Aaron. He has musical lineage, in that both his father and grandfather were choir directors in church. But it was his great high school experiences that led him to pursuing it as a career himself.
After studying at St. Olaf and receiving his Bachelor of Arts Degree of Music in Music Education, Aaron had the opportunity to complete his student teaching in 2016 under our very own Paula Holmberg, director of Minnetonka High School choirs. The following school year, he joined as the choir director at MME, where he taught all of the sections of the boys’ choirs as well as some sections of the 6th grade girls' choir.
He is so happy to be “part of an amazing district where the arts are supported.”
