Instruction
Evidence related to Implementation of Music-Specific Pedagogy, Learning Environment, Fostering Engagement in Learning and Critical Thinking.
Conducting Episode
(I)(P)(4,6,7)
This rehearsal with the Indiana University Symphonic Band on Robert Jager's Third Suite, II. Waltz demonstrates my skills as a conductor, educator, and musician. Since the piece is new to the ensemble, I am consciously and consistently assessing and evaluating for areas to improve and implementing them effectively. The study of conducting is a crucial element of the professional music educator.
Jazz Methods Teaching Episode
(I)(P)(2,3,5)
This example of my teaching comes from my jazz methods class lab band. In this episode, I demonstrate understanding and application of learning theory into specific lesson presentation and the ability to create an interactive, differentiated learning environment. 
Senior Recital Program Notes
(I)(K)(5,7)
As a horn performer, I brought my education skills to the recital hall by providing engaging program notes for my varied audience of professional musicians to... let's just say supportive  friends and family. In this document, I synthesized scholarly research with my own musical interpretations and analyses into a set of notes that helped create an educational environment during my performance. 
Beginning Band Lesson Plan
(I)(K)(1,3,4)
This lesson plan was written for a hypothetical first day of class with instruments for a beginning band program. It combines a clear pedagogical sequence with awareness of a variety of prior learning in a class of beginners. There are also clear methods of assessment for a variety of day-one skills. 
Young Winds Teaching Episode
(I)(P)(1,3,4)
This episode demonstrates my teaching with a class of middle school students in an extracurricular community band enrichment program hosted by Indiana University. In this lesson, I work with students with varied skill levels to develop a unified understanding of dynamic contrast and stylistic interest. I also demonstrate formative, summative, peer, and teacher assessment methods.
