Justine-Marie Sullivan

Skilled Classroom and Pedagogical Music Teacher knowledgeable about historical and contemporary styles, classroom instruction, and multimedia strategies. Adept at exciting students about multimedia connections to the history and craft of musical techniques. Excels in organization, connection, scaffolding, and implementation of musical content. Offering 15 years of experience as educator, leader, and performer. Strong attention to detail with creative and friendly style. Certified in K-12 Music Education, Orff-Schulwerk, and Composition.

Along with an orchestral (oboe) background, I have devoted extensive time and training to jazz studies and improvised music, under the instruction of Ron Miles, Wayne Horvitz, and Justin Adams, and Matthew Schildt. I have applied this training into the direction of independent jazz ensembles, and incorporated the historical and pedagogical connections into a variety of instructional mediums. 

I split my free time studying the intersection between geo-political world history, and how things like art, music, food/beverage, social customs, and other aspects of the human experience rise and fall in the tides of human history, and what conditions exist to canonize some traditions while leaving others to be lost to time.
