Virtual Music Office

Musicians · 1 employees · Founded 2012 · Huntington, Indiana, United States

As a teacher (retired), Gardner increased the size of a marching band from 39 to 93 in 4 years, involving nearly 20% of the student body in a competitive program that ranked 4th in state twice. As a business owner entrepreneur, he created software used by distributors in 46 states. As Adjunct Music Faculty, he managed the largest of the wind instrument studios. In the high school where he currently teaches, he helped increase the marching band from 82 to 105 and attainment of their first regional gold rating in a decade, initiated two new performance ensembles, digitized pep band books, and increased communication via weblogs and multiple social media. He has worked in sales and management, started a business, hired and trained employees, developed, documented and supported software and knows how to respond, communicate, encourage, organize, criticize and accept criticism. I ask questions to qualify answers, set and follow agendas, oversee or actively participate in meetings, hire, train and manage employees, teach students and interact comfortably, fluently and frequently with parents. He has written business and educational contracts, handbooks, significantly successful grants, organized new band uniform selection and planned group overnight trips. He manages multiple domains, weblogs and social media accounts for myself and others, am fluent in Mac environments utilizing programs and services including Office, contact management, email marketing, blogging, website design, Zoom, music software and several iPad apps. I am Indiana licensed for K-12 Music with experience in grades 6-12 and at the college level. He plays in a community band and in university ensembles, has performed in faculty recitals and has maintained a private studio of clarinet and saxophone students for over fifteen years. Within both the corporate and education world, from being on the top and the bottom, he understands, respect and work well within a chain of command.
