Greeting from the Music Directors
Why hello there! 👋
Welcome to Aragon Music. We’re so glad you stopped in!
We’re John Chen, Director of Orchestra and Choirs, and Kevin Gallagher, Director of Bands.
We’re alumni of Aragon High School and the Aragon Music program. We loved our time at Aragon so much, we made it our full-time jobs. The music program has grown tremendously since our time at the school. In fact, the program is the largest it’s ever been. There are over 350 students across 11 classes (3 Bands, 2 Jazz Bands, 3 Orchestras, 3 Choirs, and 3 Music Teachers).
Welcome to the 2024-2025 School Year
We welcome new and returning students to the Aragon Music family! We look forward to seeing you in our classrooms on campus.
Yours in music,
John Chen, Director of Orchestra & Choirs
Kevin Gallagher, Director of Bands
