I am currently a student at Mercer University majoring in Music Education. Teaching is truly one of my passions. I spent most of my high school years helping other students and teaching people to play the Clarinet. I have worked with people who started out with no prior instrumental knowledge and have helped them to be able to play the clarinet. I was able to get my entire tuition covered with scholarships due to my academic and musical ability. I have worked hard to become proficient at my instrument the clarinet for 8 years and I am confident that I will be able to teach others to become their best instrumentalist. -Education- Degree: Music education School: Mercer University Dates: 2020-08

Bentley Date: 2017-06-12 15:16:30 Title: Heather K - Employee Review Body: Heather was a wonderful voice instructor for the Georgia College Joy of Music Program. She had a large group of students that she would schedule private music lessons for on a weekly basis. She was always attentive to her students needs and was quick to get back to them. In the event that she had to schedule a make up lesson, she would ensure that the day, time and location were communicated with all of her students. We had a recital once per semester for all of the students and she was a huge advocate for the students to be able to arrive at the performance location prior to the performance to get everything set up and ensure that they all had the opportunity to practice in that location. I would highly recommend Heather to your program. Name: Dr Rebecca Lanning Date: 2017-06-12 22:48:16 Title: Heather K Body: I've known Heather for approximately 10 years as a former student, then as a paid staff member in my church choir. In Heather, I find very developed teaching skills. She has the ability to break down information into manageable parts and help students put this info back together in a way that is appropriate for their individual skill levels. As a person, Heather has the highest commitment to personal ethics. She is a quality person, through and through. I would trust her with my own children, without hesitation. As a full proof of music, I've had a lot of students over the years. Heather is a standout. Name: Tracy Norris Date: 2017-06-19 20:36:30 Title: Mother of student taught by Heather K. Body: My 8 year old daughter, Abigail, was diagnosed two years ago with ADHD. The main symptom that interfered with her ability to function calmly on a daily basis was the verbalization of information that didn't need to be verbalized (e.g. my foot touched the couch, my hand touched the table, my elbow touched the wall). She found some peace with the help of medicine, but still felt a very real need to make noise - this transitioned into constant singing. It was evident to me that music and singing were becoming coping strategies for her, something I didn't want to take for granted. I was hesitant to sign her up for music lessons because I was worried a teacher may not understand how and why she needed music. However, Heather just happened to teach across the hall from my office at the university where we both worked. I watched her interact with students, parents, adult students, co-workers, etc. and was always very impressed with how she interacted with everyone. Abigail is very comfortable with Heather and enjoys hers lessons. Heather understands the primary reason I want Abigail to learn how to use music as a coping strategy and always keeps that first and foremost. She also always makes sure the lessons are fun for Abigail. I have been very impressed with Heather's willingness to accommodate our crazy schedule and ability to adjust focus when needed. I would highly recommend Heather for any position she applies for. I feel she is not just an exemplary educator, but also an effective healthcare provider. She will work well on her own or with a team and be an asset as an employee.
