    About Javier C.

    I am a person who dedicates himself to passing on what he knows to the new generations of musicians so that they are prepared for the ever changing music industry. I am familiar with jazz, pop, classical and rock and can arrange simple to challenging arrangements for all of them. I also believe in the power of outreach and how its influence can transform communities by sharing the arts. For my efforts in teaching and outreach I have recently been asked to join as viola faculty at the South Eastern Asia Music Festival in the Philippines later this summer (2016). There, my colleagues and I will be sharing our talents with the youth in order to instill a passion for string playing and the arts in general. I ask a lot of my students, and I hold them to their word when it comes to preparation and performance. I try my best to help them find their own path, and will often challenge them by putting them just beyond their depth. I ask for effort and honesty, never for the impossible.

    Experience

    Teaching Assistant

    Aug, 2015 - Present

    Frost School of Music

    As teaching assistant under Professor Pamela McConnell, I was in charge of organizing undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral student chamber groups. I made sure that they had coaches, and that they had a time and place to perform for their midterm and final evaluations. This meant I also designed programs for performances. I also gave several lessons to many of the undergraduate students. I did this in order to accumulate teaching experience as well to assist Professor McConnell in her busy schedule. My minor duties were clerical, which meant I would keep track of Professor McConnell's schedule as well as the schedule of the her viola studio. I made sure that every student had a scheduled lesson every week and would help maintain the general flow of her studio meetings throughout the year.
