Private Lesson Teacher
Sep, 1996 - PresentSelf employeed
I have been teaching since 1996, starting at my local elementary school as an after school program for students that would otherwise not be able to afford lessons. After I was hired as a school teacher, I stopped teaching private lessons until 2008. Since then I have maintained my studio with a min. of 20 students with varying instruments.
Musical Instrument Supervisor/ Teacher
Jul, 2009 - Sep, 2012Best Buy
One of my most memorable students had physical and mental difficulties which made it hard for him to communicate using words. After only one lesson, the student's mother (a college professor) was surprised to see a vast improvement. She had never seen him respond to any other teacher the way that he responded to my teaching.
Music Teacher
Jan, 2001 - Jul, 2008Instrumental Music Program
I taught grades 3-8. I taught all woodwinds, brass, percussion, piano and recorder. A former student from one of my schools is the recipient of the Rhodes scholarship and is currently attending Dartmouth College. Many of my former and current students have also recieved scholarships to different high schools for music.
