EXPERIENCE
With almost 20 years of music-related experience, and over 10 years as a teacher, I am confident in my ability to become an asset to your educational institution. As a versatile individual, I have had a varied teaching experience including a teaching assistantship at Boston University and Boston University Tanglewood Institute (BUTI) for 5 years. Especially with the experience of 5 years at BUTI, I have had the opportunity to work with students from not only various cultures but also different levels. I also have been a coach for clarinet sectional rehearsals at Boston University Concert Band and a private clarinet teacher for all age groups. In my undergraduate years in South Korea, I have taught students from second grade to ninth grade at private music school while holding an orchestra manager position at Busan National University. Through the experiences, I have been fortunate enough to educate a diverse cultural group of elementary, middle school, high school, college level students and adult students. Further, I have learned how to communicate effectively to both student's parents and the academic organizations. At the same time I have the ability to build up my own teaching method to expand and improve student's talent and interest on making music.
METHODS USED
As a wind player, especially a clarinet player, the most important aspect on clarinet playing is having good sound. I paciently teach each student to begin playing the clarinet with their own sound. Then, I start with all the basic fundamentals which all clarinetist require to learn in the beginning period while teaching them a music theory and history. Once the students are feeling comfortable with thier own instruments, I go further with serious works. -My class is goal oriented. Most of my students are participating at NEC Prep, other youth orchestras and wind ensemble.
LESSON STYLE
My teaching philosophy is to instill a sense of music appreciation, while teaching students about the technical aspects of music. Furthermore, I seek to expand studentxe2x80x99s interest by understanding each student and applying multi-purpose activities according to each individual needs. Therefore, I am able to reach out to each student, enlighten them with joy of finding their own music in their heart and guide them to learn the ability to listen to the music and to make music on their own. I am truly opened to students who are eager to excel themselves as well as collaborating with their parents in order to resolve any obstacles they might encounter within their music education.
