Her general music teaching focuses on developing the whole musician based upon skill acquisition using singing, understanding of music notation and vocabulary, and a wide variety of time-honored literature.

Choir director
Our orchestra program provides students the opportunity to experience music ensemble with their strings instruments. Students can expand their love of music as a part of a small ensemble or full orchestra. Orchestra members participate in festival trips and combined musical events with our band and choral programs. Our orchestra program has a beginning, intermediate and advanced level so all are welcome to participate.
Choir is another opportunity that helps students develop leadership and teamwork, while cultivating a love for musical education within their Jr. High and High School experience. We encourage students to be well-rounded citizens and to experience the benefit music can have in their lives.
