1. I teach at Hance and Richland Elementary Schools.

2. I went to Duquesne University in Pittsburgh to learn how to be a music teacher. When I was there I played piano and studied music education.

3. This is my 8th year as a music teacher- I have taught at Pine-Richland my whole career!

4. When I am not teaching music at Pine-Richland I like to sing in my choir, play the piano, teach piano lessons, do yoga and take walks outside in the sun! 

My Teaching Philosophy

I believe that all children are inherently musical. My goal as a music teacher is to help my students become musical people- in music class we call this "tuneful, beatful and artful". These 3 simple words are the inspiration for our learning activities. I want my students to learn the joy of singing, moving, dancing and responding to the beauty of music. By the time they leave me I hope they have a deep appreciation and love for music!
