Dear Parents and Supporters of the Patton High School Choral Department,
My mission as an educator is to guide students in discovering and applying practical life skills. Specifically, in reference to a music education, I strive to support students in finding their inner musicianship through organizing and implementing creative ideas in the classroom, encouraging them to take risks to develop their skills; I strive for building these skills in an all-encompassing cooperative and safe environment that inspires them to learn.
Music can be such a positive influence in a child’s life. Membership in a musical ensemble promotes student bonding, friendships, skills in leadership, teamwork, personal skills, responsibility, confidence, diligence, dedication, a means for expressing emotion, and so much more; I truly believe these humanistic qualities are beneficial for every young person. Thus, I feel a desire to inspire students and guide their success through music as they learn and grow into adolescents and adults in our increasingly fast-paced, up and coming society.
Warmest Regards,
Mrs. Suttles
Director of Choral Music and Musical Theatre
