Hello Pearl River Family,
Please use the links above to find helpful information about the Elementary Music Program. I am honored to be your child's music teacher.
Families can support students' development by engaging in listening activities at home, attending concerts, and playing or singing music together.
Enjoy!

About me
I have been a Music Teacher for many years! I play several instruments including the oboe, violin, guitar, ukulele, flute, and harp, as well as guitar and piano. I've had a long history as a performing musician in a variety of musical styles and projects, from playing in an Orchestra in Mexico, to Musical Theater, performing with singer/songwriters, and playing in a Celtic band. I love sharing the joy of music with others - especially young people!
Trivia: my full name is Mrs. Loveland-Gill, but to keep everything simple at School I go by Mrs. Gill. That's why you may notice my last name, and email address may not always be the same. It's still me!
