Experience
Hello my name is Zachary Cummings! I was born and raised in Sanford, NC where I graduated from Lee County High School. Afterwards, I graduated from East Carolina University where I earned my Bachelors Degree in Music Education. At ECU I received the Teaching Fellows Scholarship and was awarded the Keyboard Department Distinguished Student.
I have taught previously at Jacksonville High School in Onslow County for ten years. While there I was in charge of all performing ensembles (jazz band, concert band, wind ensemble, and marching band) and taught musicology classes (Music Appreciation & AP Music Theory), named Department Chair, Teacher of the Year in 2019, co-director for the Pit Orchestra, and advisors for the Cardinal Ambassadors, Tri-M, GSA and CAPAA.
Currently I am teaching at Swansboro Middle School where I am in charge of all band classes and I am also an advisor for the Tri-M Chapter. This past year (22-23) our school took a combined 7th & 8th Grade Band to Concert Band MPA and received straight Superiors for our stage performance and in our sightreading room! We also took our Jazz Band to Jazz MPA and received a Superior rating for our performance there!
In addition to my in-school responsibilities, I also participate in the Coastal Carolina Community Orchestra- playing clarinet and percussion.
