Experience Summary
Teaching for me has not been just a career, it has given me an opportunity to shape and mold young lives into becoming
productive citizens.Some people would argue the point that "the arts" are not needed as apart of the curiculum format in today's educational process. I beg to differ with them. The Arts has helped my students to reach goals that they never thought were reachable. Math and Reading is an intergal part of my music program. Understanding the lyrics to the songs, help to build the foundation for a better performance. Note value gives the reasoning for the rhythm as well.I have taught, mentored, tutored at the elementary, middle school, high school and adult levels.
Teaching Style
I believe that in order to be successful at anything you must have the desire and the passion for it. The love of teaching has allowed me to educate young people of all ages for over 30 years.I am a firm believer that all children can learn. Building their self-esteem, confidence, and allowing them to be themselves has proven to work in my favor. I understand that education is the key to the future, especially during these times. I work hard and I get the job done. I am a no nonsense person but I know how to incorporate that into the success of the young people that I teach, mentor, tutor and serve. I strive everyday to be a better person than the day before. I do so by giving 200% to all of my students on a daily basis.
