I am thrilled to be a part of the wonderful staff at Sterling/Charles Townes Center for a third year. I will be expanding my role in the middle school to include classes in executive functioning skills for 6th ad 8th grades as well as a musical theater class. Our K4 - Grade 5 general music classes offer bedrock instruction that builds more than musical ability. Neuroscience continues to prove a strong correlations between the arts, literacy, and oveall student success. The music curriculum is a critical piece in meeting the needs of the Whole Child.
