Teaching Assistant

Teaching Assistant

Students have the opportunity to be a teaching assistant for one of the younger choir ensembles, whether it be for 7th Grade Chorus, 8th Grade Chorus, or Freshmen Chorus. Responsibilities would include taking daily attendance, warming up the choir, assisting with sectionals, and potentially conducting in the concert.

This is a great opportunity for students who are either interested in pursuing a career in music and/or education, or if you are interested in building your leadership skills. It also looks great on a college application! Students who are interested should inquire with Mr. Jones prior to registering for courses for the following year.
