Music Makes A Difference

Hi - I'm Kelsey. You've probably heard the phrase "music is my life" countless times. In my case, it could not be more accurate. From personal life to professional life, everything I do centers around music and education. Come on in, stay awhile, and maybe find a resource that will become a new favorite in your classes. I don't know everything, and I continue to grow professionally, but I have the following experiences that have helped shape me as an educator and musician: 14 Years of Classroom Experience, which has included nearly every aspect of K-12 Music Education: General music classes, Music Appreciation, Beginning Band/Orchestra, Concert Band, Marching Band, Choir, and Musicals 20+ years private lesson instructor, mostly piano and flute 16+ years of Religious music performance and directing 12+ years in Piano performance and accompanying

All-Inclusive!!! Every child can learn and be passionate about music because there are so many different avenues! I give students the opportunity to explore everything music has to offer with continuous combinations of singing, instruments, movement, percussion, and everything else available to us! I continually strive to reach outside of my classroom. Music is an integral part of any school system, and I feel it is the music teachers job to make us and the importance of our craft known outside of the short time we spend with our students each week. My classroom standard is typically High Expectations leading to Above Standard results. I don't allow my students to take an easy way out, and I push them to live up to their very best. I consistently push my students to the next level, and I have never seen a student fail to reach the bar I've set for them. Student relationships, immersive classes, and well-rounded music education have been the key factors in my teaching success.

I am a wife, mom, fur-mama, church music director, private lesson instructor, piano accompanist, and full-time music teacher. I live, breath, and sleep music! Thank you for the opportunity to use my life passion to enter your classroom and pass on the passion to more children!
