private music instructor resume example

As a Lead Preschool Teacher, I taught children aged 1-3 years old. I designed my own curriculum for the classroom every day. I taught the children how to dance and sing, and music was always a forefront in the curriculum. I would sing songs to my students and teach them dance moves to promote growth and physical activity within the classroom setting. My students would participate in artistic artwork that reflected the teachings of that particular day of the week's syllabus. Some of the activities the children engaged in included learning the days of the week, the months of the year, the alphabet, numbers and the names of various shapes and colors. My students also engaged in hands on activities, for example, they learned how to plant flowers, got their hands dirty and had the opportunity to interact up close and personal, as they were able to learn and grow.

At the Upbeat Girls Jazz Camp, I was an assistant music teacher in a small Jazz Ensemble. My role was to help teach students about music theory, rhythm, improvising skills and participate in varying workshops. I assisted in teaching students how to play jazz chords on piano, dictate rhythmic notations and learn the techniques of soloing and sight reading. The end result was to prepare the students to perform a concert for the final day of the summer camp.
