Welcome

Hi everyone. My name is Syndi MacEachern, and I am excited to be your child's music teacher this year. This is my first year at Gulf Shore Consolidated; however, I have been a music teacher in our Public Schools Branch for the last 22 years. I have taught K to 6 music, 7 to 9 instrumental music and 10 to 12 instrumental music. I also teach at the University of Prince Edward Island, guiding music students into becoming music teachers. I live in Canoe Cove with my husband, Rodney, and my 14-year-old daughter, Lucy.

I did my undergraduate degree in music education at the University of Prince Edward Island. I completed my Masters's in Literacy Education through Mt St. Vincent University. From 2003 to 2012, I completed specialized training in the Orff Approach to Music Education, and I am an official Certified Orff Specialist. Scroll down to learn more about the Orff Approach.

How does this site work? Scroll down, and you will find a link to your child's grade level. I post my lesson plans daily, so you can see what we are doing in music class. For band students, their page will also include a link to their google classroom, their assignment and skills page, and helpful videos to guide them on their journey to becoming young musicians. Band news is where I will share important information for members and families of our band program.
