My name is Jose Benitez and I was recently the Asst. Band Director at Krueger Middle School. I am a graduate of the University of the Incarnate Word and received my Bachelors in Music Education EC-12. I believe that music is essential to a person’s growth: mentally, physically, and emotionally. I also believe that through music education we can learn responsibility, teamwork, self-discipline, and self-expression. I look forward to working with young musicians and helping them grow.
