Silver Oaks Cooperative SchoolMusic Teacher
Sep. 2022 - Jun. 2024Adelphi, Maryland, United StatesIn my role as the Music Educator at Silver Oaks Cooperative, I teach general music classes to students in grades K-5, overseeing their progress and directing performances in music, drama, and special events. I've initiated individual bands for each class and am in the process of establishing the school's first choir. Teaching proper vocal techniques and accompanying instruments like piano, ukulele, and guitar align with my passions while introducing music theory and instruments such as the ukulele, percussions, and xylophone has proven to be uplifting. Maintaining an engaged classroom environment through positive reinforcement, encouragement, and interactive activities, such as collaborative musical skits, is a key focus. I am dedicated to promoting diversity, inclusion, and multicultural education, collaborating with parents and staff to enhance the curriculum. Consistent and positive communication with parents, staff, and students is integral to my approach, and this year, we successfully formed a parent and staff band, fostering a vibrant and harmonious school community.
