To Whom It May Concern,
My name is Lindsey Friedrichsen, and I am a senior music education major at Northern
State University. I am from rural Huron, SD where I live on my family farm. In 2015, I graduated from Huron High School where I was very involved in the music department, drama department, and FFA. I continued this trend in college and continue to be very involved in the music program at NSU. I am involved in the Chamber Choir, Concert Choir, Early Music Ensemble, Concert Band, Marching Band, and was recently a soloist with the Aberdeen University Civic Symphony. Music education is very important to me which is why I decided to join NAfME and ACDA my freshman year of college. I am grateful for the experiences I have gained from these groups. In addition to my involvement in music, I also am the President of Collegians in Christ’s Service (CICS).
I have had really great experiences with both my elementary and secondary Pre-‐Student
Teaching Experiences, as well as my Student Teaching Experience at Sioux Valley. I first discovered that I wanted to be a music teacher when I was in the 7th grade. When I first came to college, I was convinced that I wanted to become a high school choir director. However, through my PSTE and Student Teaching experiences, I have discovered that I really love the elementary grade level. I hope that you will agree that I am the best candidate for this position. Thank you for considering me to teach elementary music at Sioux Valley. I look forward to elaborating on how my specific skills and abilities will benefit the Sioux Valley School District. Sincerely, Lindsey Friedrichsen NSU Music Education Major
