TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I am an Elementary General Music Teacher, teaching students in 3rd-5th Grades in the Chicagoland Suburbs. I have been teaching music since 2015, teaching in elementary and middle school general music and choir.

MY TEACHING STYLE

My students know me for my energy and enthusiasm for making music while still bridging music with every other subject. The general elementary teacher in my heart, left from years of playing school growing up, loves to bring in children's literature, science and history into our daily discussions and experiences with music.
