Mrs. Voigt

Welcome. My name is Nancy Voigt and I am the string teacher and orchestra director at Abington Junior and Senior High School. "Research and experience tell us that the arts are crucial to developing effective learners. We know that the nature of arts learning both directly and indirectly develops qualities of mind and character essential to success such as self-discipline, self-articulation, critical thinking, and creativity." During the school year, we will be learning intermediate to advanced techniques of bowing, fingerings, and tone production through the study of all ranges and styles of orchestral music and string pedagogy. As a communication skill, music requires training and control of several interrelated physical skills not normally developed in academic classes. The learning of this type of physical and mental coordination is invaluable toward today's needs to present oneself with conviction and self-confidence. I look forward to teaching you this year as we work together to create an exciting and enjoyable musical experience.
