Concert Choir Director: Julie Boehler
Julie Boehler has been teaching in Castro Valley Unified since 2016 and at Creekside since 2018. Prior to teaching at Creekside, she taught 4th and 5th grade choir at each of the nine elementary schools in Castro Valley Unified. In 2018, she added Creekside Middle School to her schedule, and added Canyon Middle School in 2019. This year, she is excited to continue working with the 7th and 8th grade singers at Creekside and provide them with daily instruction!
Prior to teaching in Castro Valley, Mrs. Boehler served as the Associate Director of Contra Costa Children's Chorus for 5 years as well as a private voice instructor while working full time in various sales roles. She quickly realized that she would be happiest teaching music full time and made the decision to purse her teaching credential.
As a performer, she currently sings with 21V and previously sang with other professional choirs such as the San Francisco Symphony Chorus and Cappella SF.
Mrs. Boehler holds a Bachelor of Music Degree in Choral/Vocal Music Education as well a Bachelor of Music Degree in Vocal Performance from the Bob Cole Conservatory of Music at California State University Long Beach.
