Mrs. Carrie Welch is excited to be teaching beginning orchestra in the Columbine and Dakota Ridge area elementary schools. She grew up in Jeffco and has been teaching instrumental music in the district since 2013. She obtained her BA in Music Education from Colorado State University and has been teaching band, orchestra, and private lessons since 2009. In her free time, Mrs. Welch enjoys being outdoors (camping, biking, skiing, and playing disc golf), playing video games, and of course, playing her instruments. She is a member of the Jeffco Community Band during the school year, and Jeffco Community Orchestra over the summer. She is looking forward to sharing her passion for music with her students and the community.
