Why did you choose to work at WCM?

I was eager to hear how much WCM worked towards accessible music education and I wanted to further my teaching experience and branch out into new experiences with the Community Partnerships program.

Describe a musical experience or teacher that had a positive impact on you.

Both of my teachers in college really supported the duality of the "fun playing" like doing pep band and marching in parades while still pushing my musicality and technical ability as a solo and section player. Their ability to bring that out of me while also helping me develop as an adult and helping me with communication and collaboration skills is something that has impacted me for the rest of my life.
