    To Whom It May Concern:

    I am pleased to recommend Eve Thomas for a position as a music teacher in your school district. I have known Eve
    for four years and, during that time, have worked with her on an almost daily basis since she has been a member
    of the Drake Choir and Chamber Choir, which I conduct, as well as a student in our two-semester sequence of
    conducting classes, which I teach. She has also served as the alto section leader for both Drake Choir and Chamber
    Choir and as one of the officers of our student chapter of the American Choral Directors Association, for which I
    am the faculty advisor. In addition, I have served as her academic advisor. In all of my contacts with Eve, I have
    been impressed with her intelligence, musicianship, self-discipline, organizational acumen, and her integrity.

    Eve has been an exceptional student, maintaining a 4.0 GPA in a rigorous curriculum. Last spring the Music
    Department faculty named her as the Presser Scholar for the 2016-17 academic year. This honor is given to only
    one senior and it demonstrates the high regard in which our faculty hold Eve as an intelligent, dedicated, and
    insightful student.

    In addition to being an impressive student, Eve is an exceptional musician. She sings beautifully and possesses
    superior skills, including sight-reading and listening. As a rehearsal leader, she demonstrates astute diagnostic
    ability and is able to employ a variety of teaching strategies to improve performance. Among all the students who
    have been members of our conducting classes, I would rank her in the top 10% with regard to lesson and rehearsal
    planning and the ability to adapt her teaching "in the moment," depending on students' responses.

    Eve has maintained her impressive academic record in the midst of a variety of other activities, including an
    internship with the Heartland Youth Choir, a position as the director of a children's choir at a local church,
    leadership as an officer of Drake student chapters of both ACDA and Nafme (National Association for Music
    Education), and while working daily in the Music Department, where she was responsible for producing all of the
    programs for the more than 150 concerts sponsored by the Music Department each year. Eve is one of the most
    organized and self-disciplined students I have known in my twenty-eight years at Drake and she is regarded as the
    embodiment of responsibility and reliability.

    Finally, Eve is an extremely trustworthy person. She is mature in decision-making, honors confidentiality, and is
    completely honorable in every situation.

    Eve is passionate about music education and I firmly believe that, with such passion, coupled with her obvious
    expertise and desire to continue learning, she will be a leader in music education in any school district fortunate
    enough to hire her, as well as in professional organizations. It has been a privilege to teach Eve and I offer my
    highest recommendation as she seeks employment in a field in which she will undoubtedly make a great difference
    in the lives of her students. I would be happy to discuss her candidacy at greater length, should that be helpful.
    Please feel free to contact me at 515.271.2841 or [email protected].

    Sincerely,

    Aimee Beckmann-Collier, D.M.A.
    Director of Choral Studies
    Ellis and Nelle Levitt Distinguished Professor of Conducting
    Drake University
    Des Moines, IA
