I've been teaching elementary music for over 10 years. Most of my experience is in Title 1 schools. Because my husband is in the military, I have taught in Florida, North Carolina, Hawaii and now Texas.
Like most music teachers, I incorporate as much visual, kinesthetic and aural activities as possible. I was a voice major so I focus a lot on Solfège and the Kodaly method.
Teacher of the Year for my school in 2007
B.S. in Music Education and Master's in Education Administration
I am a military wife and mom to two beautiful girls. There have been many challenges due to the transient lifestyle of the military, but I have managed to secure teaching jobs in all the states I have moved to. I truly believe I am a reading, writing, math, science and social studies teacher. I just happen to use Music as the medium with which I teach those subjects.
