• Preschool Music Teacher

  • Sep 2018 - Dec 2019

  • Created and taught weekly music classes from a personally designed, year-long curriculum to children ages 3–5• Utilized immersive storytelling techniques to share musical concepts with young children in a fun, engaging wayMy music classes were taught from a personally designed curriculum and focused on music appreciation and an introduction to foundational musical concepts (tempo, dynamics, song form, etc). A sense of magic and a focus on student-driven discovery learning were at the heart of each lesson.The "Magical Mystery Musical Bag" set the tone: Only revealed to the children each week after the singing of a very special song, the object inside this shiny, red bag was key to the theme of the day's lesson. From there, the confines of the music classroom posed no barrier to our musical exploration! Equipped with "Wings of Imagination," the children were invited on fantastical journeys of discovery: From taking a "train ride" across various musical timelines and genres (the effect of which was created with the help of hidden speakers in the classroom that played songs and sound effects, timed and edited to match the lesson) to paying a visit to the Musical Gnomes of Composition Valley, the learning experiences in my classes were wholly immersive and engaging.I am aware that the experiences my students have in my classes were likely to be their first introduction to the formal study of music; and I therefore took great care to incorporate music from various cultures, time periods, and genres into my lessons. Above all else, I aimed to instill in my students the sense that music, in its limitless variety and diversity, was available to each of them—to engage with, to find solace in, and to share with others.
