Expected to obtain a BA Music Old Dominion University upon completion of French 201/202
I am a student at Old Dominion University with only 2 French classes to go to graduate. I was a first chair clarinetist in middle school. I am currently playing tenor and Alto saxophones,drums, flute, percussion, and singing through various projects. I am self taught on a very large variety of instruments such as violin, recorder, guitar, and cornet. My most unique instrument is the jaw harp of which I am a virtuoso. I compose electronic music as well as rap and sing. I am fluent at both reading and writing. I can write a simple melody or a full orchestra piece.
I have always loved to teach. I began teaching in elementary school in 6th grade, where I would help in kindergarten classroom as a mentor program. In the 10th grade I would often visit my 9th grade science teacher and help her with her class. At 17 I taught a couple adults to read. I work for the Newport News Public Schools as a substitute teacher. As a parent I homeschooled one of my children. I often have to give quick lessons on jaw harp at performances. Teaching is simply part of my everyday life as I was a teacher's assistant for Norfolk Public Schools in 2019 working with children that have special needs.
I teach students of all age ranges therefore i design lessons based on my students current level of skills. I have many band method books as well as a large library of song books. I have many instruments on hand that are in playable condition . These include: Clarinet, flute, tenor saxophone, alto saxophone, keyboard, simple drum kit as well as other hand instruments, a violin, a mandolin, a banjo, a ukulele, a variety of jaw harps, recorders, and much much more. I can teach theory, form, song structure, electronic programs etc.
I am very passionate about music. I love to teach and pass along what i know so that others can continue to create music for profit and personal enjoyment. I am a very low pressure teacher. If you are not enjoying your time then no one is benefiting from the lessons. I use a marker board, books, a metronome, paper and pencils etc to tech lessons. I do not send home "homework" but i will assign practice exercises for students to do between classes and will check on the progress and results when we meet for our next lesson.
