Orchestra 101 Podcast Linda Ramirez

The definition of legacy is something that is passed on. This series called "Orchestra Legacies" will be focusing on local Orchestra directors who have impacted our musical community by passing on their knowledge and experience to current and future teachers. 
My first guest is my own high school mentor. Charles T. Angerstein has been teaching for over fifty years.  He is presently teaching private violin and viola lessons to several students throughout the city of El Paso, TX.  He has over twenty-two years of classroom experience and fourteen years as a district administrator.  He then served as the Director of Fine Arts for the El Paso Independent School District until his retirement in 2015. He was a member of the El Paso Symphony Orchestra for sixteen years and has performed with many other professional organizations.  Mr. Angerstein has served on the UIL Music Executive Board for Region 22 and Area "A".  He has adjudicated several UIL competitions in Texas and New Mexico. He has served as a clinician/conductor in several All-Region student organizations throughout Texas and New Mexico. Mr. Angerstein is the Past-President of the Texas Orchestra Directors Association and is an active member of the Texas Music Educators Association.  He is a member of Mu Omicron which is a Non-Profit Honorary Fraternity with the main purpose to encourage and foster the development of orchestral music in our schools and communities.  He is also a member of the Texas Music Administrators Conference.  
In this third episode we will be talking about how he managed and continues to maintain his private violin/viola studio and how he is navigating his retirement.
