Music Instructor
Jan, 2011 - Jul, 2014The Way Fellowship Church in Association with GRIP
I was asked by my pastor and members of the Gang Reduction Intervention Program to volunteer my time and services as a music educator to at-risk youth and children. Taught Vocal Lessons - Ages 6-18 Taught Piano Lessons - Ages 6-18 Taught Beginning Theory - Ages 6-18 Due to the unique nature of the students I worked with, a structured course material proved fruitless, however taking a reverse approach and allowing them to tactile place their hands on an instrument and make noise then introduce materials yield better retention and committed interest and attention.

Certifications
Digital Storytelling
Aug, 2016Future Learn
This certificate covers a look at filmmaking theory and practice, and how they interact to produce good and even meaningful stories, helping you develop short films for digital platforms. Whether fact or fiction, there are many principles and processes that make a story work on film, so that what viewers see is more than just a sequence of events, but is instead a compelling narrative, which holds their attention, makes them think and keeps them coming back for more. We will cover all aspects of production – from how to research your story to adding the finishing touches in the edit. The course will address many issues along the way, including critical thinking; story structure; style; genre; ethics; legalities; practical techniques for camera, sound and lighting; and more.
