Mr. Ricky Lethridge
Greetings, I'm Mr. Ricky Lethridge. This is my first year teaching at Lake Olympia MS, and 6th year teaching overall. I believe that teaching students the fundamentals properly will set them up for any challenge in the future. That's why I became a middle school orchestra director. I want to pass down the same techniques and skills that I was taught that equipped me for life. I grew up in Houston, TX in Klein ISD. Originally a cello player, I switched to Double Bass and have learned all of the string instruments in some capacity. In my time as a performer, I've studied with many great notable Double Bassists like Jeffrey Bradetich, Dennis Whittaker, Long Le, Catalin Rotaru and more. In my free time, I enjoy composing music & performing at weddings and small events. I'm an avid reader as well as a gamer. I look forward to meeting you and creating beautiful music with our Lake Olympia students!
