Under the Direction of Jeff Chesser

Jeff Chesser has been teaching in Ohio public schools since 1990, and since 1992 in the Dublin City Schools. He earned his Bachelor of Music Degree at Ohio Northern University, where he studied Trumpet with Dr. Edwin Williams and conducting with Dennis Kratzer and John Climer. At The Ohio State University, he studied with Jon Woods, Hilleary Apflestadt, James Gallagher, and Richard Blatti as he earned his Master of Arts in Music Education. He is now a middle school band director in Dublin City Schools after teaching for 26 years at Dublin Scioto High School.

Jeff is no stranger to the community band experience. He began in his hometown with the Cambridge City Band even before he graduated from Cambridge High School. Since then he has been a member of the Zanesville Municipal Band, Muskingum Valley Winds, Worthington Civic Band, Scioto Valley Brass & Percussion, and the Westerville Community Concert Band.  He is thrilled to be directing such talented and dedicated people as those in the Dublin Wind Symphony.

Jeff resides in Westerville with his wife, Kris. They are members of the Church of the Messiah United Methodist Church, where they are frequent contributors to the music ministry as singers and instrumentalists.
