I started out as an instrumentalist– secondary band teacher for a year. I got my master’s with an emphasis in early childhood music and taught parent/child and Kindermusik classes for years, as I raised my children. About 10 years ago, I was introduced to Kodaly music and have been teaching as a full time music specialist ever since.

I teach elementary music K-6, along with the district Behavior unit, housed at my school. It is a Title One school.

I have a wonderful husband of 34 years, 3 grown children, and 5 grandchildren.

Although I have a tiny music room and a CRAZY schedule, I love seeing the difference I can make in the lives of my students.
