You may even have earned two degrees – one in music and one in education – since it’s not enough that you know how to play music beautifully. You have to be able to inspire and instruct your students to also play well and not to just admire your ability.

Re: Music Teacher Position
Dear Mr. Prince,
In response to your ad for a music teacher in your high school, I would like to present my candidacy.
As you see from my enclosed resume, I have been teaching music for 25 years to children, teens, and adults. I am proficient in playing guitar, piano, and violin, and can instruct students in classical compositions, modern scores, or other music that they prefer.
In addition to teaching individuals and groups, I have experience in:
- Organizing music festivals
- Competing in music shows against other schools
- Putting together a school band and a school orchestra
My years of teaching and tutoring also include teaching children from underserved communities and, through music, providing them with a key to bettering their socioeconomic status and breaking out of the poverty cycle into which they were born.
I would be interested in hearing more about the position and discussing my experience and qualifications further with you in an in-person meeting at your convenience. You may reach me at 567-890-1234 or at [your email address].
Cordially yours,
Nadine Note
