I've been a music educator for almost 30 years, I've taught early childhood music, elementary general music, middle school band, and beginning orchestra. I recently worked for the Georgia Department of Education writing curriculum for Middle School Music classes.
I aim to instill a love of music in my students and use music to teach them life skills and lessons to help them become successful humans.
