Teaching Philosophy
My
teaching goals are to enrich students’ lives with a quality musical experience
that will also develop strong life skills. Not only will students be developing their musicianship and
professionalism, but they will also be learning how to become productive
members of society. Through being
in the band program, students will learn about time management, respect, and
teamwork
Music plays a vital role in the academic curriculum, while
music may not be one of the core subjects in school, it is essential because it
is one of the few classes that teaches students to work together as a group or
community. Each outcome of a
performance is dependent on the group as a whole, and that means each
individual doing what is necessary for the group to succeed.
The national and state standards will be used as a strong
guideline to the classroom curriculum. Each day, multiple national and state standards will be met in every
class. The achievement of
standards will be the result of thorough lesson planning and a well rounded
classroom curriculum.
