John E Veca Email & Phone Number

Born and raised in the multicultural city of New Orleans, the birthplace of jazz, I began listening to and exploring different styles of music at an early age. Blues, Jazz, Rock, Classical, just to name a few. Studying music formally throughout my youth, I went on to earn a degree in music education. Subsequent to my university studies, I have been an active music teacher and professional musician for the past thirty-five years with premier performances at the Montreux Jazz Festival and the Classical Music Festival in Eisenstadt, Austria. My international teaching career began in Seoul, South Korea in 2001 as an ESL instructor. I have since held teaching posts at international schools in China, Taiwan, and Korea and I am currently teaching music at Schutz American School. My wife and I are moving to my home state of Louisiana in June 2023 and we are looking forward to living and working in southern Louisiana. My certifications include All-Level Music (Louisiana and Texas) and ESL (Louisiana), and I recently earned my graduate degree in Educational Leadership from Louisiana State University.
