This is done to build a working repertoire for students to learn throughout the year. - Design and curate the concert, some of which require me to plan the show's date, the time of the dress rehearsal, the order of the music, and what grade gets what music. - I Instructed the music till the students had the music memorized and then start to work on phrasing, breath management and, even choreography. To do this often required me to teach many pieces in a short amount of time, so I had to maximize the instructional content with minimal downtime to get everything done. - I restructured the classroom culture because the previous teacher didn't provide an environment that allowed structure. - I coached the students through my new rules and supervised that they were being executed properly. - I was the chair of Tri-M; this department was a music honor society that allowed students to develop skills that would help them through life, such as time management and putting resources back into the community via community service.
