Words from our Director

    My name is Joe Massaro.  I have been teaching in Southern California as a full-time high school and part-time college. I have been working at Arroyo since the Fall of 2005.  I am experienced in teaching Jazz band, Marching band (field and street), Concert Bands, Color Guard, Drumline, Orchestra, Music Theory, Piano, Musical Theatre, and world travel, just so I am also a member of S.C.S.B.O.A., I.A.J.E., M.E.N.C. , and other educational organizations. I have spent my entire career since high school conducting, writing and arranging music for academic and professional organizations across the country.  I am very experienced at knowing what a musical ensemble requires to be successful.

My educational objective is to produce well-balanced responsible adults, and the best way I know to achieve this goal is through a Championship Band and Color Guard!
