OBJECTIVE

I wish to obtain an elementary or secondary position as a music teacher. Being a music teacher is a wonderful prospect for me as it involves teaching and working with children. I have taught kids both in classroom and church settings. While volunteering at David Thompson Secondary, that I realized that teaching music was something I wanted to pursue. I truly enjoy the classroom context.
