Grateful for the experiences and people who guided him through his journey as a musician, Mr. Bertino decided to follow his father's footsteps, a former school band director for 30 years. His father was his primary influence, taking him to many music events. Observing and later working with his father gave him a great understanding of how a high school band program should run.

Mr. Bertino studied the clarinet and earned his Bachelor of Music Education at UW-Whitewater.

Growing up in the suburbs, he loved the pop punk genre and was fortunate to live close to Chicago where he attended concerts often.

He is a lover of jazz, rock, classical, and punk music. He enjoys golfing, fishing, and being with family and friends. During the summer, you'll find Mr. Bertino directing the East Troy Community Band on the Village Square.

Growing up in Stevens Point, Wisconsin, Mr. Treder has been immersed in music since he was a child. Inspired by music from video games he played, Mr. Treder learned to write and create music electronically, which he now teaches in his General Music classes.

Mr. Treder earned his Bachelor of Music Education at UW-Stevens Point. He sings tenor and plays the euphonium, in addition to other instruments at more of a basic level.

He was inspired by experiences he had in honors choirs while in school. In particular, Sharon Hansen, Professor at UW-Milwaukee, showed him that choir could be more than just a fun group to perform in, but a passionate community sharing and spreading the joy of life and music.

Outside the classroom, Mr. Treder enjoys spending time with nature, running, performing, and playing board games and video games with friends.
