My Students

The students, teachers, parents and community are dedicated to building a unified school culture that develops our students as a whole.

I believe that music can be a powerful tool directly impacting positive school culture.

As the music teacher, I have the privilege of every student in the school being a part of my class. Music is something we learn and experience as an entire school, together.

My Project

These unique and interesting instruments will enhance our Elementary performances. Every year each grade level has their own time to shine in a production that students present to parents and classmates. These unique instruments will create sound effects that will enhance the joy of these performances. The laser lights will create interesting patterns for our stage sets with over 44 patterns to change throughout shows. Last year, all of our performances at Ridge View were moved to a musical movie to protect us through COVID. This year, we are able to return to the joy of LIVE performance and these instruments and lights will add to the overall experience.

The Show Must Go On and the students in the music program are ready to accomplish this through joyfully making music with other people.

Please help my students elevate the experience with these lights and sound effects.
