At Bach to Rock, I have served as a private lesson, early childhood, and summer camp instructor since June 2024. I teach a variety of private lessons on brass instruments, woodwind instruments, violin, and piano using a combination of my experience and the Bach to Rock curriculum. I also teach early childhood music classes to children ages 3-6 and rock band summer camps.
Performing Arts: Music Specialist
I served as the music specialist for the performing arts section of the Camp Mindy Summer Camp at the Levine Jewish Community Center. My role was to prepare students musically for their musical theater productions over the course of the camp.
I previously taught private lessons with the organization Through the Staff. Through the Staff believes that every child should have the right to access free, consistent music education. By breaking down the systemic barriers in the music education field that block young musicians from accessing musical resources, they are working to make that vision a reality.
At Through the Staff, they connect students from 2nd-12th grade to weekly virtual private lessons taught by talented conservatory and university musicians across the United States — all for free.
Group and Private Swim Lessons Instructor
I served as a swim lessons teacher for both group and private swim lessons at Watauga Rec Center. I have taught swim lessons to students ages 2-72! Swimming is one of my favorite pastimes, and I love expanding my teaching into subjects other than music
MSOE (Middle School Outreach Ensemble) invites middle school band and orchestra students from around the Northern Colorado area to come participate in a band and orchestra program run by the CSU Music Education students. Each week, students come to CSU and participate in 1 hour of sectionals and 1 hour of a full ensemble rehearsal. I have had the privilege of teaching the trombones/euphoniums in 2019 and the tubas/euphoniums in 2020. Each week, teaching artists create a lesson plan and are observed by guest teachers. These guest teachers have years of experience teaching music, and it's incredible having the opportunity to receive feedback from them on my teaching on a weekly basis.
Family Ministry: Pre-School Assistant
I served as the lead pre-school teacher at Foothills Unitarian Church teaching 3 services each Sunday to students ages 3-7 from 2019-2021.
