Experience

I'm Jillian and I've been teaching orchestra for the past fifteen years in Connecticut. I've taught at both the elementary and middle school level, and recently added middle school general music to my schedule, too!

My own education history

I earned my Bachelor of Music and Education from Syracuse University and my Master's in Music Education from Columbia University's Teacher's College.

Additional biographical information

As a fellow music educator, I certainly don’t claim to know everything there Is about being the perfect orchestra or music teacher. However, what I lack In perfection, I make up for in passion and enthusiasm. I have a lot of fun experimenting with new ways to stay organized and motivate my students, and I believe this excitement translates into the resources I create and offer on TPT. Each product is designed to make your teaching experience smoother and more enjoyable, just as it has for me. Your support and feedback are incredibly valuable, as they help me continue to grow and improve. Thank you for being a part of this journey with me. I look forward to providing more tools and resources for you and your students :)
