Hello, I am Jari Villanueva

I’m a former member of the United States Air Force, where I served for 23 years with the United States Air Force Band in Washington, DC. During my time in the band, I held various roles, including trumpeter, bugler, assistant drum major, staff arranger, and music copyist. 

I have been arranging music for various ensembles since high school—over 50 years! My arrangements have been performed by most military bands, major symphony orchestras, community bands, brass quintets, and brass ensembles. One of my arrangements, Goin' Home was featured in the 1994 movie "Clear and Present Danger," and my Armed Forces Medley has been performed all over the country.

My business, JV Music, has been operating for over 35 years. I am also known as TapsBugler, the country's foremost expert on Taps and military bugle calls.  www.TapsBugler.com and the founder of Taps For Veterans. www.TapsForVeterans.org
