Piano and Voice Instructor

My resume below will focus on employment from the last few years. Some interesting information not included is my participation in the United States Collegiate Choir (European tour) and my CD (contemporary Christian) with 7 original songs I have written. I would also like to float the idea of leading a homeschool choir through the school (I've done before) or orchestra/band.
