Ducken
I hold an Associate of Arts Degree from Skagit Valley College in Mt. Vernon, WA, and a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Music
Education from Western Washington University in Bellingham, WA. I taught general
music and band in the Wilbur School District in Wilbur, WA and general music and band in the La Conner School District in
La Conner, WA. For the last 27 years I have taught k-6 music and band at Edison,
Allen and BayView Elementary schools in the Burlington-Edison School District in Burlington, WA. I also was an assistant manager for Radio Shack in between jobs.
Prior to college, I was accepted into the Army Element School of Music in Little Creek, Virginia and served my country
traveling with the US Army Band.
I am married to Judy Ducken and have a daughter,
Kaitlan, step-daughter, Shawn and step-son, Jay. We have 3 cats and a dog
that keep us busy. I have performed with the Skagit Valley Community Band, Western
Washington’s Wind Ensemble, and the 433rd and 21st Army Bands.
I still perform with a local band called Night Flight. I
recently retired from teaching music education for 29 years. Twenty- seven of
those years have been with the Burlington-Edison School District. I decided I
needed a change in career. I attended Renton Technical College
in the Band Instrument Repair Technology program under the instruction of Daryl Hickman. I graduated May 18th, 2007. I am presently on the advisory committe
at RTC. I have my own business. I work from my shop, in my home, in Skagit County.
