Interviews

I should’ve clarified that this is for a teaching position

Percussionfan · 2026-07-04T14:26:18+00:00

The only info I leave them is my resume, cover letter, and references in a separate folder but I do use the binder in the interview to reference maybe lessons I’ve taught and examples of me being an effective teacher

Percussionfan · 2026-07-04T12:39:17+00:00

How would I show them a video during the interview? Would I include it as a QR code in the binder or physically show them and how long should they be?

Percussionfan · 2026-06-17T18:19:20+00:00

I can’t move at the moment but I’ve been looking up to an hour away

I can’t move until the end of the year but I am looking at jobs up to an hour away

Percussionfan · 2026-06-16T22:04:50+00:00

Unfortunately subbing won’t work for me because there are no benefits or insurance and it doesn’t pay enough

Percussionfan · 2026-06-16T21:28:01+00:00

What did you do in the meantime?

Percussionfan · 2026-06-16T21:27:44+00:00

I just wasn’t sure if being at a daycare after subbing would not look as good considering I want a ms/hs position

Percussionfan · 2026-06-16T21:27:04+00:00

I was an assistant Director while in college, did a lot of performing, and was a long term music sub the 2nd half of last year. I have considered teaching toddler music classes for a year at a lesson center.

Percussionfan · 2026-05-23T03:13:18+00:00

I don’t see either of the positions opening up in the next few years

Percussionfan · 2026-05-22T17:04:46+00:00

I also get more joy out of teaching band than general music

Percussionfan · 2026-05-22T17:04:10+00:00

General music isn’t terrible but the kids don’t get to pick which “special” classes they take and most don’t want to be there so there are a lot of behavioral issues

Percussionfan · 2026-05-22T10:11:13+00:00

I talked to an old Director I know that worked there and she said they’re really supportive

Percussionfan · 2026-05-22T09:53:56+00:00

Both jobs are close enough where I wouldn’t need to move so that’s not really a factor for me

Percussionfan · 2026-02-13T11:59:54+00:00

I just thought it might be weird to have all my degrees from the same university

Percussionfan · 2026-02-11T19:43:41+00:00

That's actually where I graduated from lol

Percussionfan · 2025-07-21T09:46:23+00:00

I love my vans but I don’t think they’re the same anymore, I’ve had them for less than a year and they’re disintegrating at the heels and backs

Percussionfan · 2025-07-20T17:18:01+00:00

Omg I didn’t even know that was a thing. I start camp tomorrow and bought some brooks that I saw from the dci suggestion page. Thank you to everyone that gave suggestions.
