Greetings and Salutations from San Tan Foothills High School Band and Music! Music always plays an important role in our lives and this couldn’t be more true at the educational level. In the STFHS music program, nothing is valued more than the principles, dedication, work ethic, determination, intelligence, passion, and camaraderie that accompanies the study and performance of music. Countless research studies confirm how music education positively engages students in such a way that further enables them to succeed in virtually every other practice of academia. Even beyond that, we, at STFHS, simply just love to create beautiful, inspiring music. Currently offering Marching Band, Concert Band, Color Guard, Jazz Band, Piano 101 and Piano 102, there’s no limit to  students’ opportunities both in and out of music.

Robert Aguilar was born and raised an Arizona native where he first gained interest in music by picking up a trumpet in 7th grade. He attended Glendale Community College and later graduated from Arizona State University School of Music with a BA in K-12 Instrumental Music Education: Emphasis in Band. Mr. Aguilar has taught music in various schools and communities throughout Arizona, including OLMC Catholic School in Tempe, Scottsdale Unified School District, Mesa Public Schools, Florence K-8, and now at San Tan Foothills High School. Aside from his educational endeavors, Mr. Aguilar is also an independent recording artist who has so far recorded, produced, and published two full-length metal albums. Mr. Aguilar lives in his peaceful Florence home with his wife, Sylvia, two-year-old daughter, Lisa, and two huskies, Odin and Thor.
