TEACHING EXPERIENCE

14 Years with St. Mary's County Public Schools, Part time with Smithfield High School Band, Polk County High School Band, Kellam High School Band previously.

MY TEACHING STYLE

My style is a blend of many things - Orff, Kodaly, Dalcroze, my own personal ideas, and technology. Together it creates a bit of a musical education stew that has students singing, playing instruments, dancing, using interactive whiteboards and iPads, and many other things to help instill a sense of the importance of music to their daily lives.
