Director of Strings, Apex High School (Apex, NC)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Education:<\/strong>
National Board Certification (2007)
Master of Music, UNC Greensboro (2005)
Bachelor of Music, UNC Charlotte (2002)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hometown<\/strong>: Charlotte, NC <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director of Strings at Apex High School, Todd  teaches Orchestra, Beginning Orchestra, and three levels of guitar classes, including a guitar ensemble. He also plays in a Top 40 band on the weekends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I had a great experience getting my music education degree at UNC Charlotte. I feel my professors gave me some great teaching knowledge and excellent practical information for a new teacher.” In preparation for his work as an orchestra teacher, the most important thing was getting a foundation as a bowed string teacher. Todd credits John Cloer and Dr. Lynda Pickney for the development of those skills.He also looks back fondly on his guitar lessons: “The most meaningful part of college for me was my relationship with my guitar instructor, Michael Mosley. Mr. Mosley was not only a fantastic musician and educator, but a very important role model and mentor in my life.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd is such an advocate for the Department of Music at UNC Charlotte that he has brought his son to visit as a prospective student. “The string program at UNC Charlotte has become stronger every year. It is an excellent program, and worth consideration.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd’s best piece of advice for music students is one he learned from former professor Dr. Larry Marks: “Don’t smile before Christmas.” <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
