Band Directing in Tulsa

Posted by mflanary on 5/8/2026, 10:38 am

Hello,

I will be moving to Tulsa, Oklahoma this summer and am currently looking for open positions. I have been teaching band in Houston for 12 years at the middle school level. I have been trying to get a feel for the ways things are done in Oklahoma and if feels very similar to Texas. If anything, it seems like middle school directors are much more involved with the high school programs. Any information on experiences in the Oklahoma public school system would be appreciated!

Some of Tulsa is rough! Look up crime rate via zip codes!

But if you worked in Houston, you probably have. good idea what's up there!

Suburbs are great, TPS is difficult. Saied's Music (800) 777-5541 ask for Ron Kuykendall and The Music Store (918) 664-7333 ask or Larry York those guys can help you.
