I have been a freelance music instructor for six years. My background in music has been nothing short of varied. I've played gigs in garages, basements, airports, concert halls, outdoor festivals, churches, and even recreation centers. I've worked as a freelance studio musician, and a sit-in musician for various bands. Additionally, I've worked extensively as a pit musician for musical productions. During my time in college, I helped make ends meet by working as a freelance music instructor. I've taught early grade school children, all the way up through retired seniors looking for a new hobby. I now work and live in Orlando Florida with my wife. I am a freelance music instructor as well as a clinican and an accompanist for Orange County Public Schools. Formal Education: I have a Bachelor of Science in Music from Troy University. I graduated in 2013. Private Education: During my time in college, I took private one on one lessons on the tuba, piano, and acoustic guitar. Performing Experience: I have been performing in various facets for fifteen years as a musician. I have been a part of many different bands and ensembles from all different backgrounds of musical performance. I have played in various concert and marching bands through school, as well as brass ensembles, woodwind ensembles, and string ensembles around the community. Additionally, I've played in jazz bands, rock bands, and even bluegrass bands. I am extremely comfortable performing in front of audiences both as a singer and as an instrumentalist, and that is due to the large amount of experience I have accrued in my career. Experience Teaching: I have been a freelance music instructor for six years. I first started as a camp councelor for the Parks and Recreation department in Troy, Alabama. This led me to creating and leading the music class for the city-wide summer camp. Starting from scratch, I built a music class aimed for kids aged 7 through 12. In this class I taught the basics of music history, theory, songwriting, as well as how to play various musical instruments. This opportunity led me to a fruitful career as a music instructor. This helped me make ends meet while I pursued my degree in music. Since then, I have enjoyed working as a music instructor. I have primarly taught the acoustic guitar. -Reviews- Name: Madison Ickes Date: 2016-08-05 20:22:20 Title: Fantastic instructor!
