Cover Letter

Dear Hiring Committee, I am writing with great enthusiasm for the Orchestra Teacher position at One School of the Arts & Sciences, a role I discovered after a transformative visit to your campus. In February, my family and I had the pleasure of touring the school with Mrs. Cason, exploring it as a prospective educational environment for our two children, Austin and Malia. We were not only captivated by the vibrant community and innovative educational approach but also deeply moved by the school's mission and its foundation in faith and love in God. This experience has significantly motivated my application, as joining your team would provide a meaningful opportunity to contribute to a community that my family is eager to become a part of. With a musical career that spans over 35 years, including a foundational education at Brevard Music School and advanced studies at SUNY Purchase Music Conservatory, I have dedicated my life to the performance and teaching of music. My professional journey boasts of performances at prestigious venues such as Carnegie Hall and Symphony Space, alongside leading Diversity Studios in Burlington, VT. At Diversity Studios, I nurtured young musicians' talents, emphasizing creativity, technical skill development, and the joy of music. This rich background in fostering musical excellence aligns seamlessly with the mission of One School to engage both the hearts and minds of students through a future-focused, Christ-centered education. Relocating to Florida with my family this fall, I am profoundly committed to contributing to One School's exceptional community, particularly if my children have the privilege of attending. I envision leveraging my extensive background in music to inspire and educate your students, guiding them to discover and nurture their artistic talents within the supportive and loving framework of your school’s values. I am excited about the possibility of discussing how I can contribute to the artistic and spiritual growth of your students, enriching the One School community with my passion for music education. Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the opportunity to further discuss how my family and I can become an integral part of the One School of the Arts & Sciences community. Warmest regards, Yukio McDonough 1-802-377-8851
