Music Education majorAssistant Band and Choir Director, Scott County School District 2
Victoria Hall ’20, a Music Education major, is an Assistant Band and Choir Director for Indiana’s Scott County School District 2.
For a year and a half, Hall has been teaching middle school and high school choir and band, impacting her students inside and outside of the classroom.
“I get joy from watching students have that “light bulb” moment,” said Hall. “All of a sudden something will click, and they’ll suddenly understand what we are doing or talking about.”
She continued, “I also get immense joy from being on the podium conducting the band or choir. The students have put in so much hard work. To be able to show their progress to an audience and to be a facilitator of that work is a joy and privilege.”
Two Asbury professors that encouraged and impacted Hall’s college journey and post-college circumstances were Dr. Daniel Strait, who is the Associate Dean of the College of Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities, and Professor of Music Education, Dr. Glen Flanigan.
“I was particularly impacted by Dr. Strait’s ENG205 course. His deep schema of knowledge regarding every book we read helped challenge me to think creatively and critically,” Hall said. “Another professor who had a profound impact on me was Dr. Flanigan, he poured numerous hours of knowledge and advice into me and there was never a doubt in my mind that he cared deeply for me and my education.”
Hall urges students and alumni to become aware of God’s perfectly designed plan for them.
“Don’t give up on dreams that seem far away,” she said. “Keep working towards them but be patient. God’s plan takes more time than we often want it to, but I promise you the end result is worth the wait.”
