I'm very much open to working at the student's current ability level and pacing. I expect the student to practice what we cover in lessons so the resulting lessons are used to cover new ground, not review for the full time. I have spent much of my degrees soaking up as much knowledge about Trumpet Pedagogy as possible, and posses a firm grasp on many of today's leading performance methods. • National Trumpet Competition Semifinalist- 2010 • Eastern Michigan University Concerto Competition Winner- 2009 • University of Tennessee Concerto Competition- 2010 Finalist • Jesse E.

Hello! My name is Evan Levine and I am currently pursuing a Masters degree in music performance at the University of Michigan. Originally from New Jersey, I have been teaching students between the ages of 6-18 for over 8 years in both private and group settings. I have taught a range of music styles, including; Rock, Jazz, Pop, Country and Classical music. I am also proficient in Music Theory and Music History and would be able to supplement that with instrument instruction. I believe that learning repertoire that the student is interested in is the fastest way to develop a passion for music. Positive encouragement is key, and I believe the teachers' job is to guide their students in what they want to do. Developing technical proficiency and understanding the emotions and intent of the music is the foundation of my teaching style.

I have worked in education at the community college level for several years. I worked as an English Tutor for four years at Washtenaw Community College before being asked to join the part-time teaching staff. My class load consisted mostly of Composition I and Technical Writing classes; occasionally I would substitute for Literature courses when needed. In addition to my educational experience, I also have corporate experience working as a Technical Writer/Documentation Specialist in companies such as: EDS, GM, and Consumer Energy. I can’t imagine myself not spending the rest of my life teaching. I have worked both in the educational field and the corporate world and without a doubt I know with whom my heart belongs.

I dealt directly with children and families from disenfranchised populations, demographically diverse populations, and special needs populations. What I value most is having the opportunity to work with adults and children simultaneously. This gave me a broad over-standing of how to approach very challenging situations. In addition, what I have found to be an effective tool when working with academically challenged youth is having patience, and showing unconditional positive self-regaurd. My resume highlights my ability, knowledge, and expertise in individual and group therapy at a master level in the field of social work. During my time at Eastern Michigan University, I was able to advance my skill set and knowledge-base by being in a supervisory role.

I am interested in the success of each student. When teaching reading I would research the very best system of teaching. Each individaul reader is in need of the proper method to help with any difficulties that he or she is having. I would identify these problems and then find the most accurate way to reach that particular person. When teaching the reading I would use extra resources, such as drawings or poetry ro help the younger student to relate. With the teenager I would try to find reading materials that relate to their interests. I have experience teaching private piano and also teaching in the classroom. I have taught music to students of all ages for the past 15 years. During this time I was able to gain experience teaching choir as well as music theory. While teaching private piano I taught beginning students and intermediate levels of students. While recertifying for t

I provided tutoring services in high school and college, thus gained much valuable experience. As such, the most popular question I received during university was "Why are you not an engineering major?" Through earning four BBA degrees in various areas of Accounting/Finance/IT in 3 years, I learned my area of excellence lies in logical material: mathematics, physics, programming, music, and others. The only exceptions are my BBA focus (primarily relying on memorization) and English: a well written essay is equivalent to the works of Mozart. Additionally, university was very enjoyable because I was always surrounded by others and sought after because of my ease of understanding and my explanations were easily understood. My teaching style is very flexible to accommodate different needs and understandings. I first probe to find inadequacies in the student’s knowledge, then present th

I find in counseling I have to lead people to come up with their own solutions without telling them the answer. This involves showing them how to get there and teaching them the skills. If any of my friends or coworkers would describe me it would be as a patient person. I think it takes a lot of patience to tutor especially if the student is having trouble grasping a concept. You have to be creative in how you explain it to them. Everyone has a different learning style whether it is audio or visual. I think it’s important the student feels comfortable to voice frustration and ask to go over something again. As a Professional Counselor I have learned to interact with others in a very respectful, sensitive way. It is my job to lead people to conclusions without actually telling them the answer. I believe this is very similar to teaching. I have spent the last 3 ½ years working wit
