Paul Lemen Bio

Paul Lemen grew up in Northwest Indianapolis and attended Indianapolis Pike High School. It was there that he met two of the most influential teachers of his life: John Marshall and Brent

Hornaday.  They taught him the very important concept of teaching kids first, and music second, a lesson that have helped Mr. Lemen throughout his academic and professional careers.

Mr. Lemen graduated from Ball State in 1994, Magna Cum Laude, with Honors. In 2010, Mr. Lemen completed his Masters Degree in Instrumental

Conducting from Sam Houston State University. Mr. Lemen has taught for 31 years in Utah, including positions at Orem High School, Willowcreek Middle School, and Vista Heights

Middle School. During that time, his bands have consistently qualified for the State Band Festival and received Superior Ratings. In 2025, Mr. Lemen retired from teaching and has been teaching private lessons and helping bands around the state.  He has also conducted several Honor Bands throughout the state of Utah.
