Learn More About Your Teacher

Mrs. Stone started teaching at MDES in 2006, where she teaches music for kindergarten through fifth grade, as well as chorus for students in grades four and five.

She originally hails from Woburn, MA and her favorite subjects in school were English, Art, and Music, especially chorus.  When she graduated high school in 2002, she went on to study Music Education at the University of Southern Maine, Gorham.  After receiving a Bachelor of Music in 2006, she was lucky to land a job at MDES where she immediately felt welcome and at home, not only with the staff but with the students and parents as well.  In 2007, she began to pursue her Master of Music, and in 2009 graduated from the University of Massachusetts - Lowell.

Mrs. Stone is also a certified Orff-Schulwerk teacher, receiving Level I (2006) and Level II (2007) training at Bridgewater State University, and Level III (2013) training at Hofstra University.  She is also a certified teacher for the programs First Steps in Music (2014) and Conversational Solfege (2015), where she studied with John Feierabend at Gordon College.

Mrs. Stone is a professional vocalist and has sung in many concerts, choral groups, and theater shows ever since she was a child.  Her love of singing and music has been a constant source of joy in her life, and combined with her love of children, she found a perfect place teaching elementary music.  These days, she enjoys performing at church, weddings, and funerals or whenever else the opportunity is provided.  When time permits, she also loves performing in community theatre shows in the Boston area.

An avid animal lover, Mrs. Stone has two cats, Midna and Yuna.  She also loves the Harry Potter book series, scrapbooking, and playing video games with her husband - especially The Legend of Zelda games.  She enjoys listening to show tunes and seeing musicals whenever possible.  She is also a proud mother to her son Lincoln, born in January 2014.
