Band & Chorus Directors

 Hilary Bridge is currently the band & chorus director for the Russell Street School, and Littleton High School.  She previously also served as the Littleton Middle School band director from 2010-2018.   From the age of five, Ms. Bridge knew she wanted to be a teacher.  After spending nearly all of her free time playing the trumpet or singing in her small hometown of Dalton, MA, she decided to pursue teaching music as a career.  Attending Keene State College for undergraduate study (under the trumpet direction of Dan Farina) and Boston University for graduate studies, Ms. Bridge holds both a Bachelors and Masters of Music in Music Education.

Although music is her primary passion, Ms. Bridge also loves fashion, makeup, and the color purple.  She is terrified of all things that fly except for airplanes, and has an uncanny ability to memorize long sequences of numbers.  She is the wife to an incredibly understanding and wonderful architectural designer, and mom to 2 super awesome children.

Ashley Sheldon is currently the band, chorus and general music teacher at Littleton Middle School. She grew up in a very small town (population less than 2000 people!) in upstate NY. She started playing piano at seven years old, and started playing clarinet in elementary school in fifth grade. She was highly involved in any music activity she could participate in, including band, chorus, musical theatre, clarinet choir, and jazz band. Her high school music teacher inspired her to pursue her love of music and to audition for music education programs. Mrs. Sheldon studied at her teacher’s alma mater, Syracuse University, receiving both her undergraduate and master’s degree in Music Education, with clarinet as her primary instrument. 

Outside of music and the classroom, Mrs. Sheldon is an avid reader, enjoys road cycling, baking and spending time with her husband and son.
