ABOUT ME
Teacher and Musician
Hello, my name is Mr. Phillips, and I am thrilled to serve as the music director at Debbie Smith CTE Academy! My passion lies in performance music, and I am eager to bring my experience and enthusiasm to our students.
With 18 years of teaching under my belt, I have mentored and directed numerous bands, guiding many students toward collegiate music programs and professional careers as gigging artists. As a saxophonist, I’ve had the privilege of performing with the Reno Jazz Orchestra, the Four Tops, the Miracles, and Sol’Jibe. I’ve also directed the Reno Jazz Orchestra and led honor bands at the elementary, middle, and high school levels.
These experiences have shaped my deep love for music, and my goal is to inspire that same passion in every student I teach. I look forward to creating incredible musical opportunities and helping students reach their fullest potential.
