Music Educator Interview

I interviewed a childcare teacher engaged in the Early Childhood Development. She graduated from East Tennessee State University. She has been intrigued by children her entire life, she has volunteered with children with disabilities and worked with children since age 16. You can say that teaching has been a dream job of hers. Going through the interview I went through a series of questions as follows. What are positive and negative parts about being a teacher? What disciplinary styles work the best? And how can teaching in America be improved?

The best teachers can do is to not allow students to see when the students have not meet the expectations they had and when students do not meet their own expectations, the teacher needs to encourage the student to try again and learn from their previous experience;

Ever since I stepped foot in my high school band program, I aspired to exceed my band director’s expectations and be able to perform to the best of my ability as a member of such a successful program. My band director has always been, and remains to this day, an exceptional

Have you ever had to interview somebody before? Interviewing people can be very fun, but a struggle at the same time. People can sit down and answer all the questions that you have or they can take over the interview and do all the talking.

When I was a little girl, my father, William Koehler, always seemed to take significant delight in teaching things to me. He always spoke to me about teaching from many different approaches and the importance of a complex understanding of subject matter. He also emphasized the satisfaction of the “lightbulb moment,” which he defined as the exact moment he could tell that his students (including myself) began to firmly grasp the concept he was teaching. To this day, Koehler, who is also an esteemed bassist, still loves to teach. His job as a tenured college professor allows him to enjoy his passion for teaching on a daily basis. William Koehler, a Professor of String Bass and Music Education at Illinois State University, truly loves his job because of its significant impact on society and because he finds teaching to be among the most joyful and fulfilling things in his life.

My music teacher every year at the beginning of the year she told us everything including drama stays out of the room because when we enter that door way we are family. I’ve been in band all four years in high school and I believe that she is right, because we all take care of each other. When one of us falls we pick each other up and encourage more. I want to be the kind of teacher where you can come to me with anything and feel comfortable talking about it. My band director Mrs. Westbrook and co band director Mrs. Bloom have taught me so much over the years; they have inspired me to choose my career and my love of music will only take me farther and more passionate about my job. This job is my dream job and would be worthwhile getting up in the morning see the wonderful faces of some of the future musicians of the world.

“You witnessed tonight a number of students comed down here and be recognized as musicians [at the elementary level] at the state level which is huge. You see their parents with them,” Peter Calvo, the president of the Board of Education, said.

Throughout my life, I have been blessed to study with a multitude of outstanding teachers, and each one has influenced my life in countless ways. However, my band director, Mr. Jeff Neavor, is the most impactful educator I have had the privilege of working with. I initially joined the Morton High School band program in 2014 as an inexperienced member of the marching band. My first year of marching band presented many challenges, and the program’s high expectations forced me and my new classmates to work harder than ever before. Day after day, our band staff pushed us tirelessly through the heat and exhaustion to keep us striving towards our goals. Mr. Neavor, throughout the season’s highest and lowest points, was always a voice of motivation

The role of a music teacher would require many things. First, you must be proficient in your instrument of choice. To be able to teach anything well, you have to first know what you 're teaching inside and out. Not only do you have to attain high levels

Music therapy is one of several approaches individuals can utilize to improve or maintain their mental condition and treat various underlying health conditions in a holistic manner. It is a modality that utilizes many allied health professions. Music therapists have found the use of music during therapy improves patients’ ability to maintain and improve their daily routines, cognitive abilities, sensory-motor skills, social skills, confidence, and overall perspective. The most important mind-set that a patient can achieve is that of confidence. When a person is under the continuous stress that comes with declining health, their confidence and self-esteem is often shattered. The patient’s negative perception of themselves can trigger numerous

At Indiana Wesleyan University, I facilitate courses in music appreciation and fine arts with an extensive knowledge of all periods and styles of music. As a full time professor at Anderson University, I taught all levels of Teacher Education courses and supervised student teachers in all content areas. Prior to that time, I taught for 18 years in public schools.

I am impressed with the level of collaboration that the music teacher in your district share. In my district I am the only beginning band teacher so if the students fail to meet a concert deadline the blame falls on my shoulders. Teaching by ear is not part of my district’s curriculum until they reach jazz band which is many years later in high school. We have to immediately prepare for our winter concert that is always held in December.

A little girl with a big dream in the music industry is tough and challenging. That little girl is me, and to pursue that dream I decided to take a challenging step out of my comfort zone; join the CSUN Youth Orchestra(s).

From a young age, I was always fascinated with the profession of teaching and knew that I wanted to grow up and become an educator. As I reached my senior year in high school, I determined that I would focus my undergraduate studies on music education and become a middle school chorus teacher. I studied the craft of music teaching and dedicated myself to become the best music educator possible. While I completed my studies, I began to have a fascination with instructional technology in the classroom and researched the implications of including technology into choral and band music instruction. I was also given the opportunity to present multiple workshops to college students and in-service educators about implementing new and exciting technologies in their classrooms. While at Wingate, I assisted in the founding of the Center for Teaching and Learning where I helped design and implement a training program for professors to implement the use of an iPad in the collegiate classroom.
