Who I Am In A Nutshell

           I graduated from Tarleton State University in 2011 with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Music. While at Tarleton I was part of all the university choirs and awarded a full scholarship to sing abroad in Italy. So far the highlight of my musical career has been being a two time soloist in the ACDA Collegiate Honor choir in 2009 and a small ensemble member of the ACDA Women’s Honor choir in 2011. A product of the HEB school system I wanted to go back and teach in the Junior Highs where my love for music started. I was a Private Lessons Instructor for 2 years in the HEB school district. While teaching voice I had many students experience success in the All Region choirs and in the Solo and Ensemble competitions. While my students brought me great joy and I loved my job I felt like I was meant for something more. I decided that I wanted to be a teacher, a real certified choir director. Through my research on different ways to become a certified teacher in Texas I came across ECAP. That's where I am now, why I even have a blog, and how you are reading this. I am currently student teaching and loving every second of it. I never thought I could be so happy to not make any money.
