My name is Shawn Mikkelson, and I am the music teacher here at Saint Joseph School. I
hold a Bachelor’s and a Master’s Degree in music with a specialization in organ
performance. I am just finishing a PhD in Historical Musicology at Brandeis University,
where I am writing a dissertation on J. S. Bach’s use of basso ostinato in his early church
cantatas. I am also the music director and organist at Mary, Queen of Peace Parish, where
you will hear me at all of the first Friday school Masses, as well as every Sunday and Holy Day. I look forward to working with all of you at Saint Joseph School!
