Dear Mr. Cording,

Tom Renner, a music teacher in Tracy, CA, is a fascinating individual who will remind teachers of their truest objectives—preserving the defining traits of humanity through music.

I have noted that Music Teacher is narrowly tailored to musical teachers, but not all teachers share the same experiences or are driven by the same motivation. This is a way to engage your audience in a way that not only brings them to recognize what teaching is about, but to take one’s own teaching goals a step higher.

My 888-word article will propose a personality profile of Renner, including what qualifications he has as a teacher, as well as direct quotes from outside sources noting Renner's outstanding presence in the music community. Renner takes teaching to a new level, in which he emphasizes the idea of keeping it about the art, not about the fame of who's teaching it.

I am a college student studying journalism, and have had experience in writing columns on a broad range of subjects. I also have been playing piano for about 12 years, and have given lessons.

I can turn around a manuscript as soon as you may need it. I included some of my clippings of my prior works.

I appreciate your time and look forward to working with you in the future.

Best regards,
