Hello! My name is Mr. Baiar! I’m entering my 9th year here at ACA. I am looking forward to getting to know and loving your children while teaching them General Music, Worship Team, and Concert Band as well. I attended WSU–Pullman and graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Music Performance in 1989. I have played professionally for many years in the Pacific NW and have regularly played for worship with numerous churches for pretty much 3 decades. I have a passion for unabashedly praising and worshiping the Lord with my whole heart and a strong desire to see and encourage others to do the same. With a spiritual gift of teaching, I love to impart understanding regarding subjects I am passionate about. I have 2 beautiful daughters, ages 20 & 24, and there is a very special place in my heart for children. I love to lead and encourage them to know who they are in Christ and walk a powerful, joy-filled life. When not playing jazz saxophone, I’m probably cruising the countryside on my road bike, motorcycle, or backpack. Ok, I’ll be honest – I love playing video games too!
