About Jarrett Lipman

In partnership with PBSL-USA, the Docentus Group, Educational Travel Adventures, and TMF, Mr. Lipman’s company, Bandworx, specializes in instructional coaching for band directors and music teachers. He also regularly presents professional development sessions focusing on creating a culture of excellence, recruiting and retaining students, and building relationships. He is passionate about sharing ideas and investing in the growth of other directors in our profession.

Born into a family of teachers and farmers, Jarrett learned the value of service early in his life and has dedicated himself to preparing the next generation of young Americans. Jarrett graduated from Rutgers University in 2007 and earned his Master’s Degree in Public Administration with a Certificate in Urban and Regional Planning from the University of Texas at San Antonio in 2022. Jarrett’s father, a Navy Veteran, split his time between running the family cranberry business and teaching economics at Rutgers University. His father provided Jarrett with a solid blueprint for success through hard work and self-sacrifice. Jarrett attributes his strong written and oral communication skills to his mother’s influence, as she spent over thirty years in the classroom teaching high school English. Jarrett also benefited tremendously from his stepmother’s example and wisdom as a lifelong nurse.

Jarrett’s students have described him as an empathetic teacher who cares greatly for their welfare while still holding them accountable to the highest standard of excellence. His fifteen years around our youth inspire him that our best days are still ahead of us.
