Music Education and Voice
I experienced the public school classroom from 2011-2013 to enhance and update my credentials and experiences for my collegiate music education courses. Working in the block schedule at a 6A high school required me to use many of the methods and procedures I advocated in my choral methods classes, and shows my students that I can “walk the walk,” as well as “talk the talk.”
