Andre Ricardo Martinez Cortez

Music Education is crucial for the development of the culture of society and for the certainty of the future as music allows us, as a people, to unite and celebrate something bigger and more important than just us. With this in mind, I plan on providing the best music education I can to every student I work with to give them a deeper and more impactful understanding of music and everything it teaches about the self. I am Reliable & focused on supporting fellow teachers with activity planning, group instruction, and individual mentoring to improve the quality of teaching we give students. Responsible team player with a goal-oriented mindset.
