ALP Certificate alumni Tyler Ramos presented a “Lightning Talk” at the New York State Music Teachers Association State Conference in Fall 2022. He was selected as one of 5 presenters to give a five-minute presentation to an audience of music teachers from New York State, followed by a two-minute Q&A. His topic was “Ornamentation Improvisation within a Classical Sonata Allegro Movement.” Through this experience, Tyler continued to gain public speaking skills and received sample materials to utilize in faculty job applications.
