Learn MoreI became a teacher because I was inspired. My middle school band director was my inspiration. He always strived me to do better and be better. I wanted to be the same for my students.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceSo far my most memorable experience is getting to take my All State Solo and Ensemble students to Austin to let them perform and have fun. It was a great experience.
What would you do with the $25,000?With the $25,000, I would use it on my band program to buy us new equipment. We’re a small rural town that provides instruments for each student. We have students using instruments from the 50s and 60s it’s hard to keep up with everything especially since majority of the instruments are old!
