Hello! My name is Tianna Cardo, and I am the music teacher at Model Elementary School. Prior to becoming the music teacher, I taught PreK, 3rd grade,1st grade, and 2nd grade. I obtained my Bachelor's degree from Augusta State University. I obtained both my Master's and my Specialist degrees from Piedmont University.
I am the proud mother of two grown children, a son and a daughter. I am also a very proud "Nonna" to my 4 year old grandson. In my spare time, I love to spend time with family and friends. I also like to read, dance, listen to music, and attempt to play Pickleball.
It is a great privilege to be able to teach your child music. I look forward to an amazing year!
