Music has been a huge part of my life as I started on guitar at 6 years old and since then have taken on instruments such as, French Horn, Mellophone, Drum , Marching Percussion and other Concert Band and Marching instruments. I have had the opportunity to be able to teach siblings of other members of the band program but have been unable to get my name out. After graduation I have a couple of plans as far as music. I plan to apply and hopefully successfully march DCI (Drum Corps International) under the Blue Devils, which is best described as professional marching band. My planned Major for College is Business, but I am planning to either Double Major in music or minor in music. Formal Education: All of my Formal Education have been under the Band Directors at my middle school and high school. Cynthia Snyder who is a violinist, trumpeter, and clarinet player who first introduced me to the French horn and she has taught me in the Concert Band and Classical Music areas of music. Ken Hoffman, who has instructed me under, Jazz Band, Concert Band, and Marching Band who plays, French Horn, Tuba, Guitar, and pretty much any instrument in those areas. He has a Masters in Music and is currently as of 2015, working on his Doctorate of Music. He is my mentor and has allowed me to love music and stick with it even with my doubts. Performing Experience: I have been in several amateur and professional performances. Under the Chaminade Name, I have performed in many competitions of SCSBOA, WBA, and ADLA under the marching band category. Under Concert Band I have participated in many of the same as well as the annual Heritage Festivals held in such venues as Sea World, Disneyland, and San Francisco. Just this past spring of 2015, I had the honor to be part of the only band to represent my country in Spain as they celebrated the crowning of Saint Mary, with a gigantic music festival that brings musicians from around the world to participate and help in the celebration. Experience Teaching: I have only taught two children, one age 11 and the other age 7. The 11 year old on French Horn/Mellophone and the 7 year old on Drum set. They have been able to keep up in their music programs at school as they are slow learners as well as learn to love music that they never saw in themselves prior. This has been over just the past year of 2014-2015
