Mr. Michael Dragas - Music Teacher

mdragas@allsaintssjv.com

Hello everybody, I look forward to being your music teacher this year. I am coming to All Saints through St. Monica’s and St. Jerome’s. I have been teaching music for over 10 years and am hoping we will have a fun and rewarding year.
 
I am a product of Catholic education having graduated from St. Casimir Grade School and Benedictine High School. I also have a degree in Marketing from Cleveland State University.
 
My musical background starts with watching my father playing on “Polka Varieties”. He also worked in the record industry, so that I was surrounded by all types of music. When I was old enough I picked up guitar, bass and banjo, playing these instruments in local bands. I followed my Dad by working in the record industry too.
 
As a musician, I have played everything from weddings to community theatre and many Church programs. I have recorded CD’s for local artists and have recorded with many Polka artists. I would like to bring this experience into our                                                        music classes to make them the most relevant as I can.
 
I live in Timberlake with my family and have a few non-musical hobbies such as boating, and working on my classic car. I look forward to meeting all of you and having a great year together.
