1. 2. I'm not sure what this question is asking, but...With the Golden Strings I'm regularly interacting with members of the community that invite us to perform. I have regular contact with parents through email and get to know several of the parents when they chaperone our many performances. 3. I feel my strengths are my clarity on expectations and directions and organization. I would like to better integrate technology into my teaching. 4. I've always known I wanted to teach. As a child I idolized my teachers and loved to play school. When I received a scholarship to UW-Madison for viola, music education seemed to be the most logical path for me. 5. I try to have performance assessments as much as I can with feedback. I also try to write comments to students in their notebook and talk with students before and after class.
