My freshman year band teacher, Ms. Coyle, has always been one of my most influential role models. She is the reason I am determined to become a music teacher. Musicians tend to be perfectionists, and Ms. Coyle was no exception. She always found something for me to improve upon so that I never stopped flourishing musically. I pushed myself harder to perform at a satisfactory level for her, and then eventually pushed myself for my own satisfaction. The following year, a new music teacher filled her position. After seeing my dedication and leadership, she promoted me to the highest leadership position in the band for my junior and senior years. My musicianship improved rapidly and I developed my leadership skills. She worked closely with me and eventually gave me the opportunity to do some student teaching in the lower band. The greatest lesson I have ever learned in school, was discovering what it takes to be a teacher, which she taught
