Dear Mr./Mrs. <  >,

 

As a new teacher, I am well aware of the impact a good educational foundation in education can have on a student.  If a student is blessed with a teacher who has a passion for learning, enthusiasm for teaching, and dedication to the individual needs of the student, he /she receives the foundation for a life long love of learning.  I am that teacher.  My passion for music and performance has enabled me to make a big impact on many students in a short period of time. 

 

Even though I am a new teacher, I have extensive hands-on experience in choreographing productions, assembling talented students and facilitating performances.  I am eager to share my time and talents with your students, and know that I could enhance your existing music program.

 

I can offer you a solid educational background and teaching experience, along with a creative nature, solid work ethic, excellent organizational skills and expertise in program/curriculum development and delivery.  I have a true appreciation for interacting with students and parents, developing fun and interesting projects, and taking the time to learn the needs of each child; I believe I would be an excellent addition to your staff.

 

I would like to thank you in advance for taking the time to review my resume and I will be anxious to learn about the next step in the interview process.

 

With Regards,
