Hello!  I am the music teacher for all students K-5 at Black Mountain Primary and Black Mountain Elementary.  I have been teaching in North Carolina public schools since 2006 and in Buncombe County Schools since 2012.  I grew up in Burnsville, NC and graduated from Mountain Heritage High School.  I have a Bachelor of Arts in Music Performance and Latin American/Global Studies from Guilford College and a Master of Education in Kodály Music Education from the American Kodály Institute at Loyola University Maryland.  I enjoy spending time in nature and all things music:   dancing, drumming, singing, and playing piano and guitar.  

All students at Black Mountain Primary and Black Mountain Elementary have music class once a week for 45 minutes.  In music class, you will find our students singing, moving to music, playing instruments, learning to read melodic and rhythmic notation, composing, and collaborating.  In addition to regular music classes, students at Black Mountain Elementary may join after-school chorus in the fall semester, and 3rd grade students at Black Mountain Primary may join Primary Players, an after-school musical theater club, in the spring semester.
