Raymond Linville
Band Teacher
Platte Purchase Middle School
After teaching band for 33 years in Kansas, I returned to teach in my home state in 2022 for the Platte County R-3 district. My undergraduate music education degree is from the University of Kansas (1989) and my master's degree in conducting was earned at the American Band College (2005) in Ashland, OR. I was named a 2006 Kansas Master Teacher by Emporia State University and was the National Federation of High Schools (NFHS) Kansas Music Teacher of the Year in 2020. I am also proud to have served with the 312th U.S. Army Band.
