During my last three years in Albuquerque I have been very active in my music community. I've been a violist in the UNM Symphony for two years, have participated in UNM's concert choir for one semester and intend on continuing that participation next semester. In addition to UNM ensembles, I have served as the alto section leader in the Albuquerque Institute of Religion Choir for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, as well as the Chairman of the music committee for the Mountain View Ward of the same church. Last summer I also had the pleasure of participating in the Quintessence Summer Choral Festival with Matt Greer as a Quintessence Scholar.
I'm very active in UNM's collegiate chapter of the National Association for Music Educators and in the past three years I have served as secretary, vice president, and …show more content…
I've held this position for about three years. This job is one that has taught me how to communicate with performers and audience members alike. I'm also around and about every Wednesday night after classes as an intern (formally known as a Brabson Scholar) for the Children's Chorus. This allows me to get firsthand experience teaching children before I take on a class of my own. It also allows me to see the process of teaching a choir, which as an instrumental music education student, I wouldn't have otherwise. That is unfortunate because choir has always been one of my favorite experiences and I would love to have the opportunity to teach it one day. On Saturday mornings, I assist Julia Church Hoffman with the logistics of the Music Prep School and I get to see the administrative and behind the scenes tasks that it takes to run a school. During audition season (whether that's All-State or scholarship auditions) I'm often among the volunteers who help escort students to their audition
