Hello & welcome to the Orchestra 101 Podcast. I am your host Linda Ramirez. I am an Orchestra teacher who has taught 3rd-12th grade orchestra for over 15 years in Texas. My goal for this podcast is to be able to share my personal classroom experiences and that of other orchestra directors that will hopefully be a stepping stone for your music education journey. I love when there is a room full of orchestra teachers and we enjoy sharing the things that we are doing in our classrooms. The things that work and the things that don't. I want to capture those conversations in this podcast. We will focus on specific topics which can be easy for you to come back to check out when you need some tips for your orchestra.
The definition of legacy is something that is passed on. This series called "Orchestra Legacies" will be focusing on local Orchestra directors who have impacted our musical community by passing on their knowledge and experience to current and future teachers.
My first guest is my own high school mentor. Charles T. Angerstein has been teaching for over fifty years. He is presently teaching private violin and viola lessons to several students throughout the city of El Paso, TX. He has over twenty-two years of classroom experience and fourteen years as a district administrator. He then served as the Director of Fine Arts for the El Paso Independent School District until his retirement in 2015. He was a member of the El Paso Symphony Orchestra for sixteen years and has performed with many other professional organizations. Mr. Angerstein has served on the UIL Music Executive Board for Region 22 and Area "A". He has adjudicated several UIL competitions in Texas and New Mexico. He has served as a clinician/conductor in several All-Region student organizations throughout Texas and New Mexico. Mr. Angerstein is the Past-President of the Texas Orchestra Directors Association and is an active member of the Texas Music Educators Association. He is a member of Mu Omicron which is a Non-Profit Honorary Fraternity with the main purpose to encourage and foster the development of orchestral music in our schools and communities. He is also a member of the Texas Music Administrators Conference.
In this first episode we will be talking about the history of our Orchestra programs in our city, his mentors and how he started his music teaching career.
