Mr. Rey is from the Rio Grande Valley, TX where he started playing clarinet at 11 years old in his middle school band. A big inspiration that drove his musical career to flourish was his family and his culture! Throughout his musical career, Mr. Rey has performed in various band ensembles and chamber groups. With a passion for music education and clarinet performance, Mr. Rey gives a great perspective on the versatile role any musician can take and wishes to share his knowledge with his students without selfishness or judgment.
