My Students

My school is a wonderful and diverse community, and I have a huge and successful orchestra program. My school makes sure any child who wants to play has access to an instrument, so anyone can be part of the program. I currently have 105 students in my classes, and we also have a large band and choir program, so our school has great involvement in music.

Our orchestra has won many awards, and the students are very excited about music!

We perform many times each year, sometimes at school, and also in the community. I love that so many students are in music at our school and that they come from many different backgrounds. Now, we need to come back from the challenges of the pandemic and be ready to learn and grow.

My Project

Our Orchestra program has been through some ups and downs due to the pandemic and online learning. I am always trying to become a better teacher and help my students achieve their goals.

I have students who are struggling because the online situation was incredibly challenging.

I found this wonderful method book to help us all become better musicians in a fast and exciting way! I believe we can get back to our former program, and even improve.

My goal is to help any student become a better musician, regardless of their current situation or what happened last year. This book will be a great start for us!
