My name is Katrena Laney and I have been teaching music since 2010. After earning my Bachelor of Music Education degree from the University of Northern Colorado, I spent two years teaching 5-12 grade band. Before teaching in Boulder Valley, I taught K-8 music and choir in Platteville, Colorado. I earned my MA in Music Education with an emphasis in general music at Colorado State University in 2015. I am fully certified in both Kodaly and Orff Schlwerk methods of teaching general music.

I am passionate about teaching music through singing, playing, moving, and creating. I find great joy in helping students become owners of their musical appreciation and understanding.

Outside of school and music, my passions are long-distance running, and bird watching. I live with my husband and two quirky cats, Maple and Marmalade.
