To Whom it May Concern,


I am interested in working with you after hearing of your job opening. I am currently a third year
music education major at James Madison University. I have experience teaching students of all
ages particularly in the Harrisonburg area. I am comfortable working with students at all levels
and in a variety of circumstances. I have experience specifically in brass pedagogy and
performance which has given me the opportunity to perform at and attend a variety of prestigious
competitions and conferences. I believe that my experience in the field of music, research of
pedagogy, and skills in communication qualify me for this position.
My resume is enclosed to further explain the specifics of my qualifications. I hope that you will
consider me for this position. I look forward to meeting with you in the future.
Sincerely,

Allison Hunter
