Reymart Marticio

I am a licensed music educator with over 10 years of teaching experience in the Philippines and the United States. I specialize in saxophone and also teach beginner to intermediate flute, clarinet, trumpet, piano, guitar, and percussion.

As a former Band Director and Music Teacher in South Dakota, I taught middle and high school students, directed ensembles, and prepared students for concerts, honor bands, and music competitions.

My teaching approach is patient, supportive, and personalized. I adapt each lesson to the student's goals, whether they are learning for fun, preparing for auditions, or improving their performance skills. I focus on building strong fundamentals in technique, rhythm, music reading, tone, and musical expression while making lessons enjoyable and engaging for learners of all ages.

From 2021 to 2026, I served as a Band Director and Music Teacher at McLaughlin Middle/High School in South Dakota, where I taught middle and high school students, directed concert bands, and organized school performances. I was honored to receive the 2025 South Dakota Bandmasters Association Midwest Clinic Director of Young Bands Award and helped students earn placements in honor bands and achieve excellent ratings at music contests.

My teaching style is patient, encouraging, and personalized. I tailor each lesson to the student's age, experience, and goals, whether they are beginners, preparing for auditions, or looking to improve their skills. I focus on building strong fundamentals in technique, rhythm, music reading, tone, and musical expression while creating a positive and enjoyable learning environment that helps students grow with confidence.
