I am the general and choral music teacher for Shoemaker Elementary School. I teach K-5 general music classes, along with the 5th grade chorus and the 5th grade handchime choir. In music class, students engage in a variety of activities that involve singing, playing instruments, improvising, composing music, critically listening to music, reading & notating music, and analyzing & describing music. Through the study of these aspects of music, students will become independent music-makers. It is my hope that after leaving Shoemaker, students will be able to enjoy a lifetime of musical experiences!
