This is Mr. Leclerc's fifth year at Thompson Middle School. He also taught
for two years in RI and MA prior to coming to Thompson.
He earned his BM in Music Education from the University of Rhode Island.
There he played trombone in the URI Wind Ensemble, Orchestra, Big Band and
Trombone Choir. Wanting to explore other musical opportunities, he also
performed with an a cappella group and sang in a rock band.
He hopes his passion and enthusiasm for music will inspire his students to
explore and reach their own music potential and develop a life long
appreciation of music. Mr. Leclerc strives to reinforce life skills such as
self-discipline, a healthy self-esteem, responsibility and cooperation in
each student through music.
Mr. Leclerc enjoys all kinds of music and some of his favorite musicians and
bands include: The Beatles, Stevie Wonder, Billy Joel, The Slackers,
Radiohead, Led Zeppelin, Ben Harper, Bob Marley and Miles Davis.
He currently plays trombone with the Sounds of Swing Big Band as well as the
Munroe Dairy Parade Band.
In his spare time, Mr. Leclerc enjoys reading, going to concerts, riding his bike,
playing golf and rooting for the Red Sox!
