Mr. Jacob Boshears

Music at OES

Hello, and welcome to Music! My name is Mr. B, and I am the music teacher and band director at Oneida Elementary School. I see every student in Kindergarten through 4th Grade once a week for music class. I also direct the 5th Grade Band. We have so much fun in the OES music program through singing, dancing, playing instruments, and learning about the elements of music!

About Mr. B

I am a proud native of Scott County, and I have lived here my whole life. I attended Fairview Elementary from Pre-K to 8th Grade, and I graduated from Scott High School in 2017. I then attended Berea College in Kentucky, where I earned my Bachelor of Arts in music education.

I started my teaching career here at OES in January of 2022. I love working in the Oneida Special School District, and I enjoy every part of my job. In addition to teaching general music, I direct the OES 5th Grade Band, and I assist with the Oneida High School Pride of the Tribe Marching Band. My favorite part of this job are my students, and I look forward every day to making music together!

Outside of school, I enjoy playing trumpet in the Oak Ridge Community Band, singing in the church choir, playing piano, reading, watching TV, and spending time with my family. 

5th Grade Band Information

The OES Band is open to all 5th Grade students. Band meets as a class during the school day four days per week. 5th Grade band students learn the basics of playing an instrument and reading music. The OES Band performs one to two concerts each semester.

Mr. B will recruit band students at the beginning of the school year. 5th graders who are interested in joining band will get a chance to test out each of the instruments, and a handbook with detailed information will be sent home for parents to sign in order to enroll the student in the band class. For additional information, please feel free to email Mr. B.
