"Mickey is phenomenal.  He's in the classroom. He shares his sound and he tells others how to share their sound as teachers. He understands as a music teacher that one band, one sound is the result of togetherness.  I love how he says 'life is better when we band together'."

    BIO FOR PRINT MEDIA

     

    Educator.

    Encourager.

    Those are just two of the words that describe the Southwest Louisiana native Mickey Smith Jr. In the course of his career, Mickey has grown multiple band programs in Louisiana, Texas, and Florida by over 500%, encompassing  over half of their school populations. Upon moving to Florida his program had 100% of the school population! Currently, Mickey teaches band to 4th through 8th grade students at The King's Academy. There the program has seen increased interest and growth with the new Beginning Band, Intermediate Band, Concert Band, and Jr. Jazz Band. His beginning band has a retention rate of 100%! Throughout his nearly two-decade career, he has developed and grown not only band programs, but most importantly, he has helped young people realize what they are capable of through music. This 8-time Teacher of the Year and GRAMMY Music Educator Award Recipient believes in promoting education and the educators across the globe who make it possible. Mickey Smith Jr. has shared his unique combination of message and music with thousands of students as a teacher, all-state conductor, and clinician. In addition, he has taken his systems of joy for teaching to hundreds of educational conferences, school district meetings, and leadership development stages across North America sharing his "Keep On Going" approach. Mickey has extensive experience teaching in Title I, urban, suburban, rural, public, as well as private schools. Throughout the years, Mickey's classrooms have been filled with students from a variety of backgrounds. There are some who have experienced trauma and adverse circumstances, but they have all been provided with the opportunity to find greater meaning and purpose through music. Mickey's classroom experience encourages students to do more than make music, but also to "discover their personal sound." In addition to teaching, he empowers educators to build genuine relationships with students in order to discover the unique sound of every child in their class. Throughout Mickey's career, he has experienced firsthand that every child is just one sound adult away from achieving success. Mickey was that very student that benefited because someone believed in who he could be. He believes that modern day teaching is a relationship-based approach, and that more than ever teaching cannot simply be about the subject matter, but also about showing students that they matter. In Mickey Smith Jr.'s classroom, his mission is to engage, educate, and empower every learner to excellence through music, so that every child feels loved, valued, and wanted. Mickey enjoys being a part of the Palm Beach community. West Palm Beach is now home to Mickey, Eugenia, and their two children, William and Mikayla.
