To Whom It May Concern:
I am submitting my resume to convey my interest in applying for the position as a organist/keyboardist. I’m known for my skilled ability to perform at a high level in worship service playing hymns, anthems, praise and worship, old school gospel, and choir music. I also have the ability to assist the minister of music with voice parts. My people skills allow me to engage and motivate people; along with possessing the ability to articulate and communicate with people of all backgrounds and socio-economic status.
As a musician I easily connect with people. I serve as head organist at The Trinity Baptist Church. I have been successful in that role through not seeing change as a negative and embracing the change by sharing the simple things that I could do that would make a big difference in seeing change as a positive.
With over 15 years in the music industry I have proven to have the skills necessary to help generate productivity with the band as well as the choir. My goal is to always ensure that the church is satisfied while making sure the music ministry takes no loss.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Nicholas McClain
