Experience
Librarian
Sep, 1990 - Aug, 1991Musicians Institute
Cataloged, stored, shared, tracked all video, books and magazines for school use. Ran an IBM printer that created the school curriculum for an entire school to use. Oversaw the use of a new device called The Egg. A relaxation device used by the staff that used isolation, music, messaging, aromatherapy and positive reinforcement to improve an individuals mood. The whole egg thing was weird at first but after setting in it for a while I found it easy to take a nap which was the whole point I hope!
Substitute Teacher
Aug, 1993 - Dec, 1995Musicians Institute
Subbed for entire guitar department at Musicians Institute in California for 2 years. Most mornings I would get a call at 8 AM for a class that morning that required me to drive from Long Beach to Hollywood and grab curriculum and jump in with both feet! One day I could be subbing for Scott Henderson's open counseling or Allen Hinds harmony theory class that day. There was a time I subbed for a piano/voice teacher that was a challenge and realized it is just notes and we need to learn them in our heads first. Singing is the way to go and should be a major part of any effort to play an instrument.
