To get a job, sometimes you have to go above and beyond. If you are willing to work extra, it may be easier for you to get a job. If you are unwilling, do not expect to get hired for this job.

Having duty has actually helped me get to know students more on a one-on-one basis because it is outside the classroom.

Marcie's Feedback

It's great that you've built stronger student connections by supervising events outside of school. What kinds of events have you been involved in and in what capacity? Can you talk more about the bonds this has fostered? Show that you are eager to engage with the children in this way so you can inspire a passion for music in them.
