This is something I put forward in my own teaching by creating a fun environment that caters to each students needs as a person, not just a client. Formal Education: I have been a musician for about eight years and an instructor for two. I have played drum set for all, with various instruments such as cello, trombone, and piano added in as I collect experience in each area of musicality. I have also taken several classes involving the study of music, as well my own experience with music theory as a musician, and Drum Major, of my high school marching band, and first chair cello of its orchestra. Private Education: Most of learning on instruments has been self taught with various forms of instruction from my high school music directory, who taught me everything I know about teaching as well. Performing Experience: Since I became a musician I have performed with my own music groups, while also performing with high school and college organizations, whose genres include Rock, Jazz, Classical, and many others. Some of the venues I have played include various high schools, two performances at the House of Blues in San Diego, community concerts, and countless parades. Experience Teaching: Officially, I have only been an instructor (Assistant Band Director) for about 2 years. However, my experience in teaching reaches back about four years when I first began teaching my high school Orchestra about basic warm-ups (it was a rough time for the school). By the end of it, I decided I wanted to do more, so I became Drum Major of the marching band, where I did even more teaching; and finally, the Assistant Director, where I instruct the students about marching, tuning, warm ups, proper playing posture, etc. and enjoy doing it so much I have decided to major in the study of music, and music education. -Reviews- Name: Priscilla Romero Date: 2016-05-16 01:54:21 Title: AWESOME!
