Current Band Director in Toledo Public Schools
performs in Saline community band
Hello! My name is Joe, and I am a musician (trumpet and saxophone) and band director. I started playing trumpet in the fifth grade and eventually went to the University of Toledo where I received my bachelor and masters in music education. I have been a band director for thirteen years and have much experience starting students on all instruments. In my free time, I play alto, tenor, and soprano sax and play in my local community band. I have taught privately for over ten years and Ave started countless students on instruments since starting my job as a band director. I would love to help you start your music lessons!
I have had experience teaching lessons from college to the present day. I have developed into a highly effective teacher, motivator, and musician throughout my years and feel confident that my students will succeed when they take lessons with me. I will help your musician to develop practice routines that will help him or her to make consistent progress. We will create balanced lessons in order to become a well-rounded musician. I will work with your student to help them achieve their musical goals. I look forward to getting to know you and teaching you!
I choose music that will help students in many different areas. I can suggest a method book that I use for my students, or I can work in the existing method book of a student, if that is what he or she prefers. Lessons should be a combination of fundamental musical skills and other types: such as band music being worked on, solo pieces for competitions, and music chosen simply for enjoyment. Keeping students engaged and motivated involves a combination of all this music in lessons. I will work with your student to develop lessons that they will enjoy.
I am passionate about music and display that in my teaching. I care about the success of my students and want them to succeed. I am extremely positive with all directions. Students will feel at ease in lessons and not stressed! I work well with all students and make the lesson a fun, relaxing experience. I will motivate your student to practice. Learning an instrument takes time, and gains are made over time. It is easy for new students to lose sight of the successes they make. I will help your student to stay focused.
