This is my 19th year teaching, 15th in Montgomery County Public Schools and this year is the first time I am only teaching elementary band & orchestra! 

I am a brass specialist with tuba as my primary instrument.  I am a string player as well starting on cello in 5th grade then moving to bass.  I can play woodwind instruments - just not quite as well as the other instruments. ;)  I have a bachelor of music from Michigan State University (Go Spartans!) and a master of arts degree from the University of Hawaii at Mānoa (unfortunately all online!) 

You will see me with coffee, soda, or water most of the time. Stay hydrated!

Aside from music, I am a technology and space enthusiast and I also enjoy building and creating things.  I love the outdoors and support both Cub Scouts and Scouting America!

I am happily married (20 years!) with two boys - Elliott in 8th grade and Andrew in 6th grade. Both of them went through the music program at Stonegate Elementary and are still playing! Elliott plays the bass clarinet after starting on clarinet and Andrew just switched to tuba after starting on trumpet. Mrs. Proszkow is an astrophysicist, and studied how stars are formed!
