Mentor David, What U Need to Know About Music

Based on my professional skills and experience in orchestrating, conducting, performing and teaching, I am confident that I would be a favorable addition to your music education.

My educational background includes a Single Subject Teaching Credential, Bachelor and Masters Degree in classical and jazz studies. My expertise and skills as an arranger/orchestrator have contributed to the sales of several gold and platinum records. My recording achievements has qualified me to participate in the Grammy selection process for the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences. As an educator I have produced outcomes of first place awards with superior ratings in instrumental music festival/competitions local and state wide.

In 2003 I established Knights of Music Foundation Inc., a non-profit organization to provide music literacy after school to children attending public elementary schools that do not provide instrumental music as part of their curriculum.

I look forward to the opportunity to work with you. Thank you.

Sincerely,
David
