| Meet Clark Sheldon |
|
The SYO program is proud to welcome Clark Sheldon, who is filling as Guest Director of the Concert Orchestra for Michelle Freeland, who is on maternity leave.
Mr. Sheldon, a native of Fargo, ND, received his undergraduate degree in Music Education and Mathematics at Concordia College in Moorhead, MN, and Master of Music in Education from Northwestern University with an emphasis in conducting.
Mr. Sheldon is in his ninth year teaching elementary and high school orchestra in Barrington, Illinois. Prior to coming to Illinois, Mr. Sheldon taught orchestra in the Wayzata Public Schools. Mr. Sheldon has served as IMEA District VII Orchestra Representative for two years and as IMEA All-State Orchestra Organizational Chair for five years and is currently the President-elect for the Illinois chapter of the American String Teachers Association. He has assisted with the 2005 and 2008 ASTA National High School Honors Orchestras, coaching cello, bass, and wind sectionals. Believing in the importance of teacher education, Mr. Sheldon has presented topics in music education at conventions and colleges in Illinois and Minnesota, including the Mid-West Clinic in Chicago.
We're certain you'll share our enthusiasm in having Mr. Sheldon join us and may have already observed the admirable qualities he shares with our other directors. | |
