Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceA student auditioned for an ensemble that performed at Carnegie Hall and in Sydney, Australia. Watching students grow, connect, and achieve something that extraordinary is a moment I’ll always carry with me.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would use $25,000 to first take care of my family, then invest in my classroom by purchasing much needed instruments, reeds, sticks, and materials for my students. I would also continue my own education so I can bring even more knowledge and opportunities back to my classroom.
