Audition Prep with Elyse K.

Century Fine Arts

I teach Music Theory I, which is a beginner’s class. We work (and play games) with note durations, rhythm, counting, time signatures, reading the notes of the treble/bass staffs, solfége/hand signs, singing syllables, ear training and much more! Childrens’ Theatre is another group in which I am involved. I actually co-instruct this class. We make sure that the kids are made aware of their body movements through various exercises, we explore enunciation through tongue twisters, we play various improvisation games such as tempo walking through “materials,” telling a story using different emotions, etc. Currently, we are working on a production! I also teach private lessons. Right now, I teach only the instruments that are either at the studio or that I own: Clarinet, Alto Saxophone, Flute, Oboe, Trumpet, Piano, and Voice. I do, however, teach all wind instruments, so if a student was interested in learning to play the trombone, I would try my hardest to get my hands on one. I am always 100% dedicated to my kiddos! :)

HISD

I was the Choir Director for 8th grade students. I coordinated their Winter program as well as took a section of them caroling for the Veterans at the VA hospital. I also sponsored a Glee Club. I also taught a Theatre Arts class with a mixed group of 6-7-8th graders.

Music Lessons of Pearland

I taught private music lessons to several students of varying instruments/voice.

PISD

I was an Assistant Choir Director/Music Teacher for grades 5-6. I also assisted the Special Needs students.

TCISD

I was a K-4 General Music teacher. I held various programs for each grade. The students learned to sing in different languages, and they learned different dances to correlate, also. Selected students from the 4th grade would perform in the 4th grade All-City Choir each year. Students from other grades were prepared for and performed for various community events. The 4th graders were taught to play the recorder. I attended an Artie Almeida workshop, and all grades were exposed to Orff instruments.

Bedford City Schools

Each summer, for three years, I was the teacher for clarinet sectionals for the Bedford High School Marching Bearcats. I taught them their music for pre game and halftime, as well as assisting them with their marching fundamentals. The students had to memorize their music, so I assisted them with that task, as well. I also fixed broken instruments.

Founded on the campus of Oklahoma State University on November 27, 1919, Kappa Kappa Psi is a guiding light with which band students can grow, learn, and develop themselves and their band programs. Kappa Kappa Psi is an organization of opportunity and quality, brimming with historic, well-developed leadership and membership programming that students use to become great leaders, better band members and better adapted young adults prepared for what lies ahead of them.

Begun in 1920 as the Texas Band Teachers Association, the Texas Music Educators Association is an organization of over 10,000 school music educators dedicated to promoting excellence in music education. TMEA is comprised of five divisions: Band, Orchestra, Vocal, Elementary and College. On behalf of its members and Texas schoolchildren, TMEA carefully monitors the actions of all state decision-making bodies on issues affecting fine arts instruction in Texas. In addition to many member benefits, TMEA offers professional development opportunities for its members with Region workshops and especially with its annual Clinic/Convention. TMEA supports the future of music education by offering scholarships to music education majors and by sponsoring the Texas Future Music Educators, an organization through which high school students interested in careers in music education learn more about what to expect in their college education and future careers.

Delta Omicron is a co-ed international professional music honors fraternity whose mission is to promote and support excellence in music and musicianship.
