Goals
I have two seperate career goals, because of my two majors. When it comes to trombone performance I hope to be performing professionally in a professional ensemble. I leave this goal very open ended, because I want to perfom music professionally, but it could be in Classical, Jazz, or anything else. In five years I see myself in a graduate program getting a masters in Trombone Performance
In Music Education my overall goal is to be teaching trombone at the collegiate level, or having a private trombone studio of my own. No matter what I do in music I will always be teaching music in some way. If I was to be teaching in the public school system I would like to teach High School. My teaching goals are to establish a program where the students are not just playing music, but are growing as musicians through conscious decisions by using multiple musical elements. I also want to inspire my students with a love for music that they will take with them for the rest of their lives no matter what they end up doing with their life. I want to establish a safe and friendly learning environment where my students can comfortably learn and grow to love music. I would like to share my passion of music with the students in a fun and safe enviornment. If I was to take this route in five years I would see myself in a high school program leading a band, and about to go on and get my masters in music education.
