Teacher Feature: Ms. Paschen

Ms. Paschen is the Ordean East Middle School's choir teacher! Ms. Paschen is from Cleveland, Ohio, and she started singing when she was a sophomore in high school. Ms. Paschen played the flute in the school band, so when her friend was trying out for a play and wanted Ms. Paschen to play the flute she of course said yes! Well, Ms. Paschen practiced singing the song but her friend didn't get it so Ms. Paschen sang it for her! Her friend said that she should try out for the play and she got the part. After high school Ms. Paschen then went to college for band and choir and fell in love with them.

She loves all kinds of music and some of her favorite songs really depend on her mood. She enjoys such genres as jazz, Disney music, rock, and pop! Ms. Paschen loves to sing and work with teens. She totally recommends to anyone who sings or wants to that you should practice your breathing and warms up every day! Ms.Paschen loves teaching all different kinds of songs. One of her favorite songs to teach is Build Me Up Buttercup (I would totally recommend anyone reading to listen to it!) Ms. Paschen hopes to see more concerts and even competitions for fundraisers in the future. For now the upcoming concert months are January and May, however we are not 100% sure those will happen. We do know that we will have at least some type of concert.
