OBJECTIVE
To find a place where I can educate and motivate students who share a common passion for
performance of quality instrumental, vocal and choral repertoire, to develop musical literacy and
musicality, to foster individual senses of performance style, to enhance vocal and instrumental ability
through performing and private study, and to develop a community of performers who can express
themselves and encourage their fellow classmates to become independent learners and practitioners
of the musical arts.
