Teaching style
I am a teacher that likes to build community in the classroom first. Students need to feel comfortable in a music class so that they can be vulnerable wether they are singing, sharing a piece of music they wrote, or presenting on music research. I like to spend time getting to know the interests of my students so that I can incorporate their ideas into my lessons. I also am a big proponent of Project Based Learning and allowing students to build their own knowledge while I am a "guide on the side."
Awards & shining teacher moments
Bringing my choirs to perform all around Europe is one of my favorite parts of my job. My choirs have been awarded Gold markings in state festivals and local competitions.
My own education history
I earned my Bachelor of Music Degree in Music Education with a Concentration in Voice and Choral Music from the Crane School of Music at SUNY Potsdam. I also earned my Performance Certificate in Voice from Crane. I hold a Master of Science Degree in Curriculum Development and Instructional Technology. I enjoy writing curriculum for music classes and incorporating technology wherever I can.
Additional biographical information
Besides teaching I also enjoy musical theater - both directing and performing. I have been a part of numerous musical productions and music direct at my school. We have won awards for our productions! Away from music, you can find me in my garden, listening to Podcasts and audio books, cooking, doing pottery, and enjoying time with my two cats - Chester and Dexter.
