About Michael Newman

Currently, I am working with UMASS Lowell, teaching the Marching Band’s Front Ensemble, and I am the percussion director for the New England Youth Wind Ensemble, the Youth Percussion ensemble, and teach percussion in the UMASS Lowell Symphonic Band Camp. I have experience in both teaching and arranging for concert percussion at the High School and College level and I have performed with many local Theater Programs and Symphony Orchestras in Massachusetts and New Hampshire.
