Dear Hiring Manager,

With four years of experience as a Band Director leading high school musicians to achieve performance excellence, I am excited to apply for the opportunity at your school.

Currently serving as the Band Director at Sunnybank High, I oversee the instrumental music program for a student body of 1,500. My responsibilities include instructing beginning, intermediate, and advanced bands in woodwind, brass, and percussion sections, as well as coordinating drill support and extracurricular activities.

I am passionate about music education and believe in its positive impact on students' personal development. Along with teaching musical skills, I emphasize the benefits of music in self-esteem, communication, stress management, and creativity. I am committed to incorporating both classical and contemporary material to engage students of all backgrounds.

In addition to my professional experience, I hold a Bachelor of Music Education and have a background in performing across North America and Europe. This diverse experience allows me to connect with students on a deeper level.

I am impressed by the reputation of your school's music education program and would be thrilled to contribute my unique blend of performance and teaching expertise. Please find my résumé and playing samples attached for your review. Thank you for considering my application, and I look forward to the opportunity to discuss how I can contribute to your team.
