Dear Ms. Joplin:
I am inquiring about a string opening in the Evanston Township High School. I have included a copy of my résumé and would like to be considered for the position. I have had a wide range of experiences in music education and performance, which would be beneficial to the position.
While at the University of Illinois I worked with Dr. Kathleen Horvath on assessment in string education and have successfully implemented those techniques in the classroom. My curriculum uses a holistic approach to teaching, where the students learn theory, history, performance, proper technique, and are exposed to as much useful technology as possible. These components contribute to my implementation of the National Learning Standards.
I also remain an active performer, which enhances my performance skills and gives me insight into my teaching.
In addition I maintain a web-site, www.MostlyBass.com, which is dedicated to string education and the double bass.
Thank you very much for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Peter J. Tambroni, Jr.

I am inquiring about string openings in Kane County. I have included a copy of my résumé and would like to be considered for the position. I have had a wide range of experiences in music education and performance which would be beneficial to the position.
I currently teach elementary and middle school, a truly great age to work with! In my position I conduct the beginning orchestra and middle school orchestra but have worked with all the orchestras in District 83. My students are finding success in many situations including the West Suburban Youth Orchestra, the Protégé Orchestra, Blue Lake Camp, and the Valparaiso Summer Camp.
My classroom uses a holistic approach to teaching, where the students learn theory, history, performance and proper technique. I place a strong emphasis on solid fundamentals, the key to future success.
While at the University of Illinois I worked with renowned pedagogue Dr. Kathleen Horvath, learning much about assessment, string education and her specialty of performance ergonomics.
I also remain an active performer, which not only enhances my performance skills but also continues to give me insight into my teaching.
In addition I maintain a website, www.MostlyBass.com, which is dedicated to string education and the double bass.
