Congratulations to Mr. Shannon Jacobs for receiving The Foundation for Music Education Award for private music educator in percussion. The Foundation for Music Education is a state wide organization dedicated to the support and advancement of music education. Mr. Jacobs is one of many private instructors working one on one with Forney Middle School and High School students. The Foundation recognized his excellence in private teaching by being the sole recipient of this state wide award. Mr. Jacobs started teaching private lessons in Forney in 2006. Mr. Jacobs, working along side Forney High School Percussion Director, Riley Warren, has helped grow the Forney High School Percussion Section into a nationally recognized ensemble. Last year the ensemble was enlisted to perform at the 2022 Percussive Arts Society International Convention and this year they will be showcased at the Midwest clinic and convention in Chicago.
