My goal, as a music educator, is to expose every student to music, and to instill the appreciation of music, while at the same time teaching musical concepts. I strive to expand my students interests through composing, movement, singing, instrument playing, and incorporating children's literature. Using these methods, I am committed to introducing concepts in an attractive way allowing my students to grow into well-rounded music consumers and forever lovers of learning.
