Thomas Torok Alma Public Schools 1500 Pine Avenue Alma, MI 48801-1299 Dear Mr. Torok I have recently learned Alma Public Schools is seeking to hire an instrumental music teacher and I am writing to express my interest in applying for this position. I have learned of this opening from a posting on the GreatSchoolJobs.com web page. The posting on this web page suggested Alma is seeking to hire a teacher who desires to build a K-12 unified program. I firmly believe the strongest music programs are those that are unified and consistent from the elementary level to the high school level. I am a new graduate of Alma College with a degree in Music Education. This past semester, I completed my teaching internship at Alma Public Schools where I had the opportunity to teach students ranging from sixth grade beginners to high school seniors. I also became accustomed to handling the many organizational aspects involved with the direction of a class C band program. The preparation I have undergone while at Alma College allows me to feel confident and enthusiastic towards entering the teaching profession. I will continue to help the cohesion of the band program and community to create a positive experience for Alma. I look forward to participating in the interview process for the instrumental music position at Alma Public Schools. I will be in contact within the following two weeks to inquire more about this position and the interview procedure. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Anthony Audia Enclosure: Resume
