I'm a public school teacher in Plano TX. My straight job is as an Elementary Special Education teacher for students with Emotional Disturbance, and Profound Behavioral Challenges. I've got plenty of patience and creativity. Sometimes finding the right method of delivery makes all the difference in how the student learns.

I have a degree in Music Education from Southwestern Assemblies of God University.

I've been teaching now for 13 years. I've taught English in Chinese universities, Behavior and Social Skills in Elementary and Middle School.

I've also taught some funny things too. - I cut hair in college. Instead of having repeat customers, frequently, I talked them through the steps, showed them tips and tricks so they could cut their own hair and save a few bucks. I did the same with electronics and guitar repair. I charged them an hourly rate and had them sit down with me to learn how to do it themselves. Teach a man to fish, right!

I sing well. I play guitar, bass, ukulele, hand drums of many kinds and styles. I can fake it on the drum set, or drum kit. I can fake cello, banjo, the Irish penny-whistle, the alto-sax. I can comp and chord piano and keyboard. I've written, composed, improvised, performed, gigged, recorded, produced, and taught music in a variety of capacities. I had a pretty developed understanding of music theory from about the age of 12.

I've got 5 wonderful, beautiful, dizzyingly smart, competent, and helpful children all under 8 years old. - Patience. Yup. Differentiation. Yup.
Fun. Yup.
