My Students

Years ago when I started teaching orchestra I had 25 students in my class. Today our middle school orchestra consists of 70 members and we have 60 students in high school. Isn't it amazing!!! I am so proud of these group of kids who work hard every day to improve skills and perform at different places and venues.

My Project

Our life is getting back to normal and we are almost ready to entertain our audience with festive and fun songs!

This amazing instrument will help chorus students to sing not only at this Holiday season, but also at the spring concert.

Kazoos provide a vibrating, voice-changing sound that has been used in Africa for hundreds of years. It is such a unique instrument that it is sometimes underestimated. It teaches not only proper breathing techniques, but helps young musicians with tonguing and articulation.

My students can't wait to own and name their new colorful friend and place the music on a new stand at the concert.
