Anna Morris

My name is Anna Morris and I am the Band Teacher at C.T. Koontz Intermediate School. I have a passion for instrumental music and music history. My goal as an educator is for my students to not only learn how to play an instrument but also develop an understanding and appreciation for music of all backgrounds.

BEING A PART OF THE BAND:

In Mrs. Morris’ band classes, students learn a variety of instrument techniques and perform fun and engaging repertoire in a band setting. Band is offered as a year-long class starting in the 6th grade in the Roberson district. Students from the Roberson district band programs frequently perform with NCMEA regional and all-state ensembles as well as the annual BCS all-county band and local youth orchestras.
