About The Musical Mailman
Hello! My name is Roy, I am a cellist with the Maui Pops Orchestra, a music teacher, and a bow repair technician. I earned my Bachelor of Music Education, Cum Laude, from Eastern Michigan University in 2014. After teaching 5th-12th grade stringed orchestra in the Evansville-Vanderburgh School Corporation, my family was presented with the wonderful opportunity to relocate to the island of Maui. Upon arrival, I joined the Post Office as a Letter Carrier, now that I am settled I am very excited to start teaching again. With the founding of The Musical Mailman, I hope to be able to share my talents with the island of Maui and beyond.

I’ve known Roy for several years, and worked with him both as an educator and a performer. As a teacher, he is patient, encouraging, and so creative!
Starlynn Asami, Parent in Kahului
My keiki has a curious, yet roaming mind. Has a hard time focusing ... he is now very excited about his violin. Everyday he is asking to practice or do his exercises! I find myself paying just as much attention as my kiddo.
Student Performance Example
A short excerpt of my 7th and 8th-grade orchestra students in Evansville. Every one of these students made tremendous progress from when they started in 5th grade. They all started their instruments with little to no prior knowledge on stringed instruments.
