About
A dedicated Music teacher who makes the class full of fun whilst learning is assured. I am an award-winning Music Educator with over 19 years of teaching experience but 6 years of Music Education experience (After first Degree). I hold a U.S.-evaluated Bachelor’s degree in Music Education. Throughout my career, I have built high-performing music programs from the ground up. I recently led a 60-member choir to first-place regional victories and trained a marching band that earned the "Best Marching Group" title for three consecutive years.
My expertise spans the full K-12 spectrum; I have developed foundational literacy through music in primary schools and prepared senior high students for advanced national exams. As a leader in the field, I write for the National Curriculum and serve as a WAEC Music Examiner. In 2024, I was honored as the Municipal Best Teacher for my dedication to student success. I am eager to bring my skills in curriculum design and ensemble coaching to a U.S. classroom through the J-1 exchange program.
