Engagement
As a future music educator, I hope to not only engage with the school, but also the local, surrounding community. Due to the fact that I was homeschooled from 7th grade until high school graduation, I didn't have a lot of experience playing in a school orchestra that was in my curriculum and schedule every day. I played with community youth orchestras in my area. I was grateful that I had this experience because I didn't take it for granted and I valued the time I spent once a week participating in rehearsal for the community orchestra. I believe that because I was able to highly value my experience it helped my love of the violin and music making to grow.
Since studying at JMU, some of the ensembles I've been participating in have performed concerts off campus. I enjoyed those experiences because we were able to reach people that we otherwise might not have. As a teacher, I hope to be able to provide similar experiences for my students and get them engaged in not only the school but also the local community.
