Welcome to Choir!

“Teach music and singing at school in such a way that it is not a torture but a joy for the pupil; instill a thirst for finer music in him, a thirst which will last for a lifetime.”

― Zoltan Kodály

Upper School Choir | 3rd, 4th, 5th 6th General Music

ABOUT ME

I have taught elementary music on the Western Slope of Colorado for the past 10 years. I earned my BA in Music Education from Colorado Mesa University, and my Masters of Music from Colorado State University in May, 2021. I am fully Kodály certified through the CSU Colorado Kodály Institute in Fort Collins. My principal instrument is the voice, but I play the piano, percussion and ukulele.

I sing with the Western Colorado Chorale as the soprano section leader, and direct the Crossroads United Methodist Church choir. In the summer, I direct the Colorado Mesa University Elementary School Music Camp on the CMU campus.

I am excited to be a part of the Ascent Classical Academy, and to help foster continued growth of an emerging choral program.
