Music Co-Director

Wickes, AR

I spend one week in June each summer co-directing music at Red River Valley Honors Camp. This involves several months of preparing the music for eight performances. During the week, I organize, direct, and lead the musicians during rehearsals and the nightly performance of each new music set. I play keyboard, guitar, and sing. As a result, I trained five musicians daily to work as a unit for the nightly performances.

I coordinated lawn maintenance, landscaping, painting, and debris removal at rental properties. As a result, the rental properties were much sought after by potential tenants in the area.

I worked 10-hour days for eight weeks on a team for a one-time project. It was expected to take ten weeks, but, due to our excellent teamwork and efficient use of tools and time, we completed the project ahead of schedule.
Piano Teacher
Self-employeed
Anderson, MO
06.2020 - 07.2022
While a teenager, I instructed four students in beginner piano lessons. One student suffered from dyslexia, and I tailored his lessons with that in mind. As lessons progressed he began to recognize the notes and play the assigned songs with more confidence. Each student made excellent progress as they memorized all of the notes, and were able to play all of the songs in the first book. One student moved quickly to book two.
