Hey. I'm an elementary music teacher in NY and there's nothing I love more than rocking out with my students. I play the guitar and sing rock, pop, folk songs with the kids. Our school is very high need, and almost the entire school qualifies for free lunch. This is where the arts are so necessary. Please help me inspire and enrich the lives of hundreds of students every year.
