    Who I am

    Hi! My name is Jibri Houston and I have always taken an interest in serving people and teaching.

    Jibri Houston is a trumpet player/singer/songwriter/Recording Artist and is currently a Louisiana based music educator.

    He has served as Director of bands at Red River High School in Coushatta, LA after receiving his Honorable Discharge from the United States Marine Corps. Houston was stationed at Marine Barracks Washington 8th & I Streets in Washington D.C. where he served with The Commandant’s Own, The United States Marine Drum & Bugle Corps.

    Initially enlisted as a Baritone bugler, Jibri later served as a Soprano Bugler and featured soloist with the unit. While on active duty, Houston’s most honorable service was as a United States Marine Funeral Bugler, where he regularly performed Taps at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia. Jibri is a native of Austin, Texas.

    Jibri received his Bachelor’s and Master’s in Euphonium Performance from Northwestern State University where he studied with Dr. Masahito Kuroda, Dr. J. Mark Thompson, and Galindo Rodriguez. His introduction to DCI came while attending a Cavaliers Drum & Bugle Corps rehearsal on a scorching hot day in San Antonio, TX in summer 2002. He auditioned later that year and became a Cavalier in 2003. During his graduate studies, he performed with the Northwestern State University Jazz Orchestra on trombone. He was the 2006 Music Teachers National Association Louisiana Euphonium/Brass, Winner. Outside of music Jibri collaborates with  other artists and professionals as an advocate for mental health and suicide prevention.

    “I have never met a teacher as inspiring and fierce as Jibri. I love his teaching methods!”

    Jane Faber, New York

    “Mr Jibri is fantastic. Even when I am having a bad day, he boosts my  energy levels."

    Jonathan Smith, Los Angeles

    “I've tried so many different types of music lessons and teachers. Jibri's classes are the best ones yet.”
