From 1997 onwards, Kevin taught studio woodwinds and directed the jazz programs at both the Escuela Municipal de Música in Collado Mediano and the British Council School in Madrid (n.b. the municipal music schools are official music schools sponsored by the regional Madrid government, and the BCS has long held the reputation of being one of the finest International schools in Europe), where he built up enrollment over the years and sent many former students on to careers as professional musicians. In 2012 he was named Coordinator of the Music21 program at BCS, supervising an 11-member adjunct faculty team and founding the ClassBand project, in addition directing the Jazz program.
His extensive academic background, combined with years of professional performing experience in a wide variety of styles, made him one of the most successful teachers in the greater metropolitan Madrid area.
Prior to working at BCS and EMMCM, he taught at the historic Madrid jazz school, the Taller de Músicos, during six years until its close in 1994. There he was the administrator and translator of the International Jazz Workshop series, working with artists such as Joe Henderson, David Leibman, Jerry Bergonzi or Bobby Watson, and represented the Taller at International Association of Jazz Schools conferences.
