David Petersons

Music

I have taught orchestra, music theory, music history, and worship music in a Christian school outside Chicago for the last 7 years.

I love teaching in a Christian setting where we can acknowledge and glorify the Creator of all things. My wife and I and our two kids love to be outdoors and I also love woodworking.
