I am a retired K-12 Vocal & Instrumental Music teacher. I came out of retirement to teach part time PreK-8th Grade music at a tiny public school (we have less than 40 kids).

jr high choir, and elementary computers during those 31 years. Retirement is great!

Experience
I am a retired K-12 Vocal & Instrumental Music teacher. I came out of retirement to teach part time PreK-8th Grade music at a tiny public school (we have less than 40 kids). I have added librarian/careers to a second day. I love it! I have taught elementary music, high school band, jr high band, elementary band, general music, high school choir,
jr high choir, and elementary computers during those 31 years. Retirement is great!
Teaching style
I love, love, love teaching kids how to be assessment capable learners. What a powerful moment when they take control of their learning, set goals, track their progress, and find new ways to reach the target!
Arts Integration can connect any subjects with music, visual arts, dance and theater. Collaborate with another teacher to design a lesson. You'll be amazed at the results!
What can I say about being a librarian? I'm not certified, but have a wonderful mentor/friend in the neighboring district. I love to read and it is so much fun helping kids find something they want to read.
Awards & shining teacher moments
I taught for 31 years and retired. Now I teach part time twice a week. I do PreK-8th grade music and I'm the librarian.
