• View My Teaching Resume Here:http://tinyurl.com/Resume-ChitmonMy teaching experiences have afforded me an exceptional opportunity to shape the musical minds of students throughout Houston who were from backgrounds and families as diverse as the city itself. Using band as a medium, I believe a music educator must teach, lead, and mentor students in becoming integral and effective members of society, regardless of the subject taught or the students’ chosen career path. As a band director, I have a responsibility to provide my students with the highest quality musical education possible as well as presenting opportunities for authentic student-centered learning, guided application and successful performance of concepts learned in the classroom.Specialties: Music Education, Teaching, Conducting, Band, Trombone, Brass, Woodwinds, Leadership
