Derrik Jordan is a singer-songerwriter, producer, multi-instrumentalist and environmental activist who writes positive pop and globablly conscious soul. He teaches music at The Greenwood School in Putney, Vermont.

Living in the hills of beautiful southern Vermont, he sings and plays guitar, piano, 5-string electric violin and congas throughout the northeast. His music can best be described as acoustic-pop-soul.

Derrik Jordan has sung national jingles, worked with many bands and has had his songs recorded by other artists, but what really excites him is writing, recording and performing his original music for people.

"Creating music is a sacred trust. That moment of ecstatic communion when performer and audience become one is truly one of life's greatest experiences," says Derrik.

Music is a valued and required course at Greenwood. We provide regular instruction in music appreciation and drumming, with private instruction for students who are studying an instrument. It is our belief that developing a sense of rhythm, meter, and pitch is important for all children and may have significant benefits for those whose learning is hampered by auditory or kinesthetic difficulties.
