Jimmy Pascascio

Co-Founder, Video Director

Jimmy Pascascio, co-founder of Music Notes, has always enjoyed being behind a camera. As a kid, he used his dad’s camcorder (usually without his dad knowing it) to make videos with his best friend. When he became an English teacher, he started teaching a video production class during his homeroom period. It was at this time that Jimmy first heard LaMar Queen’s “Slope Intercept” song. Not knowing exactly how he would do it, he offered to help LaMar make a music video for the song. Since then, he has worked with Music Notes artists as well as his own students to create educational music videos that are creative and engaging. His videos have received multiple awards, including the Digital Voice Award from the Los Angeles County Office of Education and the Videos in the Classroom award from KLCS.

Jimmy earned his B.A. in Psychology and Religious Studies from U.C. San Diego, a Masters in Elementary Education from Loyola Marymount University, and a Masters of Arts in School Administration from California State University Northridge. He taught middle school English and Social Studies for 10 years and served as a high school intervention coordinator for 6 years.
