I have taught instrumental music in public schools for 5 years which has included teaching grades 5-12 in subjects such as beginning band, beginning orchestra, intermediate band, intermediate orchestra, marching band, percussion ensembles, and small group/individual instruction.

Nothing is more satisfying than seeing students passionately pursue and succeed in the musical goals they set for themselves.
