Tanglewood Public Representative Case Study
I am applying to be a Tanglewood Public Representative. I am a first-year student at Mount Holyoke College pursuing a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music and International Relations. I learned about this position from Kristie Chan, BSO Orchestra Management Assistant. I am very enthusiastic about this opportunity. I have been involved in orchestra management for over five years. I currently serve on the Mount Holyoke Symphony Orchestra Board as a Music Librarian. I ensure that music scores are prepared for the upcoming concert seasons. In addition, I work as a Mount Holyoke Music Department Concert Manager. I manage department events, interact with artists, and ensure that patrons have a positive experience. I started as a music librarian for
the Murfreesboro Youth Orchestra in 2012. Then, I served as a concert manager and conductor’s assistant for the Nashville Youth Orchestra Program at the Blair School of Music at Vanderbilt University. I provided administrative support to the orchestra directors and larger program events. My customer service skills were further developed when I worked as a certified barista for Starbucks. I interacted with customers daily and ensured a positive experience. Moreover, I strengthened my teamwork abilities by coordinating with colleagues. Through these experiences I gained leadership and personal skills. I demonstrate an effective work ethic. I would like to expand my expertise and gain further insight in the field. I would be honored by the opportunity to work at Tanglewood. Being a representative is a substantial responsibility. I am prepared to put my best foot forward.
