- Ability to bring positive energy to a collaborative team environment, actively participating in a Professional Learning Community (PLC), and celebrating student and colleague successes
- Strong classroom and rehearsal management skills, with knowledge of Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) and developmentally appropriate strategies that promote student engagement, responsibility, and social-emotional growth

- An understanding of proficiency-based learning, learning progressions, data-responsive instruction, and alignment with the National Core Arts Standards and music literacy
- Ability to effectively integrate instructional technology to support rehearsal, practice, assessment, and student learning
- Strong skills in establishing and maintaining positive, professional relationships with students, families, colleagues, and community partners
- Ability to communicate clearly and consistently with families and students regarding expectations, progress, performances, and opportunities
