I am a K-12 certified music teacher with a license in two states. I currently teach middle school band for students in 5th-8th grades. I teach 15-minute individual lessons to 100 students a week during the school day, and I teach private band lessons after school hours. I can play all of the band instruments and I can help students with strategies from my Bachelor's Degree in Music Education as well as from my experience as a classroom band teacher. I have been teaching private lessons for the past 6 years to students ranging from 3rd grade to 12th grade and I have been doing virtual lessons for the past 2 years.
