Hi! I'm Mrs. Werntz!
I am so excited to begin my first year at Willow Grove Early Learning Center and my eighth year teaching music in an early childhood building! I have a Bachelors in Music Education and a Masters in Early Childhood! I already feel so grateful to be part of a school and community that shares my values as an educator. I look forward to helping your students grow and create joyful experiences in music class.
Outside of school, I recently celebrated my first wedding anniversary and love spending time with my family. I love all things creative, Disney, golfing, cooking, and especially music!
Class Overview
At Willow Grove, Kindergarten students will have music class two times a week for 20 minutes (40 minutes a week), and EC students will have music class once a week for 20 minutes! In music, we focus on singing, dancing, and playing to help us learn the "musical opposites" (high/low, loud/quiet, fast/slow, same/different, etc.) and the foundational elements of music ( steady beat, healthy singing voice, creating musical ideas, etc.).

Mrs. Werntz's Schedule
Come Visit Music at Willow Grove!
If you would like to visit your student's music class period, you can sign up to be a mystery musician! This opportunity is very similar to what a mystery reader would do or a helper in the gym, just in music class! Please join us for a music class and share a song that is special to your family or share an instrument you know how to play! To schedule, please send me an email! Let's have fun and share music! I look forward to seeing you in class!
