Welcome! My name is Mrs. Smoley and I teach K-2 music at Bonner Elementary. This is my 22nd year teaching in Stewartville. I have a Bachelor of Music from the University of North Dakota, a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education from the University of North Dakota, and a Master of Arts in Music Education from Adams State University. My goal is to help students become tuneful, beatful, and artful.

Music Skills Assessment
All students are regularly assessed on their music ability. Running records are kept of students’ ability on rhythm, singing voice, matching pitch, instrument playing, and other musical skills in order to track improvement.
