TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I have been teaching music since 1993. I have taught elementary (20 years), middle school (10 years), and high school (5 years). I have taught in a private school (5 years) as well as public schools (25 years). Currently, I am teaching in a public elementary school, where I feel I am "meant to be!" I love my job and want to share all the things I know now that I wish I knew when I started!

MY TEACHING STYLE

"Excellence is not an act, but a habit." Aristotle Be prepared and give them your best every time they walk into your classroom. "I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." Maya Angelou Always be kind. You can still be kind even when you are giving consequences to a child who is misbehaving.

HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT

I have been honored to have several former students tell me that they have used what they learned in my music class later in school and in life. That's the best honor of all!

MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY

Bachelor's Degree in Music Education from Mercer University Master of Music in Music Education from University of North Carolina- Greensboro
