About Gavin


Bio

Hello, my name is Gavin W. I am from Tustin, California and twenty-nine years old. I received a BA in Music Education and an MA in music history. I love teaching music, especially the academic side of music such as theory and history. I was an adjunct faculty member of music at Santa Ana College. I am now currently pursuing a PhD in musicology.

Hello, my name is Gavin W. I am from Tustin, California and twenty-nine years old. I received a BA in Music Education and an MA in music history. I love teaching music, especially the academic side of music such as theory and history. I was an adjunct faculty member of music at Santa Ana College. I am now currently pursuing a PhD in musicology.

Music is a gift from the heavens and should be shared all over the world. In the darkest times, the arts should be at their brightest directing out of that scary place. Music has the power to connect and to understand what has happened in the past. I hope you will appreciate music as much as myself and continue on this journey together.

I am knowledgeable, kind, compassionate, patient, sympathetic (I was a music major, I know the pressure), understanding, reliable.

Composition (Music)

I had composed many things as music student, such as composing my own sonata for a theory class

Music History

Required two years of music history classes. My undergraduate thesis was on the development of court dances when transitioned from the Renaissance to the Baroque era.
Religion

Religion

I would say I am an ammeter theologian. I've studied the bible cover to cover; and taught youth and young adults'. I have taken religious classes in college to broaden my knowledge but my BA was music education.
Sight Singing

Sight Singing

As a music student, you have two years of music theory (lecture) along with aural skills (lab) which is a lot of sight singing and ear training. I’m the choir director, I do a lot of sight-singing with my 6-11-year-olds. Sight-singing is not the same as voice lessons. I am not a vocalist! Sight-singing is a type of aural skill and if you need help with aural skills this is where you will sign up.
Violin

Violin

My primary instrument as musician has been the violin all of my musical career. I have been playing violin for over ten years and been playing professionally for about three.
American History
Geography
Music Theory
Social Studies
