Describe a recent event you are fond of.
Our voice department hosts a choir over the summer! We are preparing for the Cunningham Community Choir Concert (later this month) and the entire voice department is having a BALL putting that together.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Music teachers should be considering the student as an individual, not as a member of an age group or skill level group.
Private lesson teachers, in particular, should incorporate multiple disciplines and approaches in their lessons--music theory, aural theory, solo performance opportunities, and group performance opportunities are important to offer students so that they can reach their full musical potential.
