I want to teach a couple students a week. I have found lifelong friends in my piano and flute teachers over the years, and I want to share all the information I’ve obtained in lessons and in school with others. I want to give new players confidence and help their relationship with music grow. I want to focus on developing players’ tone and teach them that music can be a great creative outlet. I also want to prove to myself that I am a good teacher and that I can communicate effectively with students.

I want a career that will be as rewarding for me physically, mentally, and emotionally as it will for the people I help. I want to be creative, and help build and strengthen communities with music. I hope that I find this is the right choice for me. I have a BA in music and math, I will need to be accepted into a school and transfer my music credits. Hopefully it won’t take me too long (I’m thinking about 6 quarters as a part-time student) to get certified. I would also like to get a masters or PhD further down the road and contribute to research in the field.
