Everybody likes to make a great first impression! The first impression many potential students get is from your photo and bio on our website. Help us make you shine like a star!

Please do your best to fill out each question as completely as possible. Details and thorough answers are great! The more we know, the better your bio will be, and the more likely a prospective student will be to request you specifically as their teacher!

How did you initially become interested in music?

Give us a really detailed history of your musical instruction/education - starting from when you first started playing through now.

Instruments: What instruments and styles you can teach? Do you play any other instruments?

Educational History. College, high school, etc. Include what your degrees you have: major, minors, masters bachelors (and current studies).

If you studied music or education, can you name any music or education classes you took (for example: pedagogy, conducting, music history, etc. - sometimes it's nice to include these as a short list in the bio to show parents the scope of what was studied):

Please list and describe any awards related to your musical endeavors.

Have you won any awards related to educational efforts? Scholarships, Summa Cum Laude, prestigious title “Rhodes scholar” etc…

Do you have any kind of teaching/coaching background? Educational studies? If so, where did you teach, train, coach or learn about education?

When have you had the opportunity to work with young children? (Share any classes, camps, trainings, lessons, etc. you participated in with detail.)

Are you currently in a band, orchestra, acting troupe, choir or other musical endeavor that would be appropriate to let our students and parents know about?

What bands, orchestras, etc have you played with in the past?

If applicable: What notable musical acts have you supported or have supported you in your touring career?

Have you played any notable locations? Venues? Concerts? Tours? (This may be as part of a school ensemble or as a band with peers. For example, some past teachers traveled through Europe with a choir, or others performed in the Warped Tour with their band. The more details the better!)

What performance/piece of music/music experience are you most proud of?

What are your hobbies, interests, and projects outside of music that are important to you? (This is a nice way to show a little personality in your bio - other teachers have mentioned creative projects, non-music hobbies, or hanging out with their hilariously named pets.)

Is there anything else that you would like to include in your bio? Projects, etc.?
