elementary (k-6th)
I am a college graduate with a degree in journalism and am currently writing for a small newspaper. I have mastered the basics of subjects taught in elementary schools through my own education. Though my strengths lie in writing, reading and grammar I think I can also be of use in math, science and social studies.
general music
Music has always been a part of my life. I played violin from ages 5-13, then took up the clarinet when I started middle school. I played in the middle school and high school bands at Western Middle and High School. I was the only freshman to be accepted into the symphonic band, which consisted of upperclassman. I also played the bass clarinet in high school as well as with a clarinet quintet at several Solo and Ensembles. We received high scores each time.
In college I was part of the marching band for one year as a colorguard member. I also took a few courses on music both as a requirement for my degree and out of my own desire to fully understand music. Though I haven't played in a few years, I am still very passionate about music.
clarinet
I played the clarinet for seven years at Western schools. I was the only freshman who was accepted into symphonic band, which consisted of only upperclassmen. I also played bass clarinet for several years, and played it with a clarinet quintet that performed at several Solo and Ensembles, where we received high scores. Though I have not played in a few years, I have recently picked it up again to reacquaint myself with the instrument.
