Hello, I'm Catherine Charles, and I am the music specialist at Castle Hayne Elementary. I am beginning my 35th year of teaching in North Carolina's Public Schools, and am a proud graduate of the public school system of this state. I am a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro's School of Music, with a Bachelor of Music degree. I have completed all three levels of the Orff-Scheulwerk approach to music education, and incorporate the approach into many lessons we do across all grade levels.
I am the music director of Church of the Servant, Episcopal in Wilmington, NC, and lead the training choir of the Wilmington Boys Choir. I am also a founding member of the Schola Cantorum of East Carolina, a choir that has sung evensong services both locally and internationally.
I love to spend my free time reading, cooking, traveling, and spending time with my basenji Isaac the TerrorTot. We are hoping to add a sister for Isaac around Thanksgiving.
