Teaching Portfolio
My name is Glen DeGeorge and I am a graduate of Mansfield University of Pennsylvania with a Bachelor of Music Education. I am currently teaching, performing, and working in the Philadelphia area.
My primary instrument is trombone, and I specialize in low brass, jazz and instrumental studies. I hold a Pennsylvania Teaching Certification in Music K-12 and have also have extensive experience with orchestral instruction, general music instruction, guitar, music technology, recording arts, and theater and stage production.
I am equally comfortable with my use of technology in the classroom. While many of my experiences stem from incorporating technology in music, I also have extensive experience in web and graphic design, as well as audio and video editing and production. Technology plays an important role in my philosophy towards education, as it is crucial that students learn how to problem solve, innovate, and apply technology to their experience in an increasingly tech based society.
Teaching is an extension of who I am. I have had a wide range of students who I work with on an individual basis whose talents, learning styles, and abilities are vastly different. Learning how to best facilitate their specific needs, as learners, transcends into my approach in any classroom. It is my goal to garner a dynamic community of learners, who work toward common goals, develop a sense of aesthetic and artistry, while fostering personal independence and responsibility.
I encourage you to explore my professional portfolio. My teaching portfolio is structured using Charlotte Danielson's Framework for Teaching and is categorized by each of her four domains. I have also included sections that highlight my experience as a professional musician and work in various realms of technology.
