Welcome to the VH Band program!
Welcome to the VH Band program!
I am so happy that you chose Band as your elective this year! My name is Mrs. Folmar and I will be your teacher. In band class, we will learn how to read music, write music, and play music on instruments. We will play everything from "Hot Cross Buns," to "Star Wars," to traditional Band music, jazz, pop music, and more! It is my goal for you to have fun in this class and learn a little about how to play your instrument and love music. I look forward to getting to know each of you incoming 6th graders, and to continue to get to know each of our 7th and 8th graders.

It's my job to make sure that you love band class and enjoy making music and making new friends! If at anytime, you have a concern, feel free to reach out to me either in one of our classes, after class, or through email. You are important and your questions matter!

If you are new to band, you will have the opportunity to try out instruments the first week of school and choose yours!

Hello Vikings!
It is an honor to begin my tenth year of teaching at Van Hoosen Middle School this fall. I am incredibly excited about the opportunity to get to know each of you and to continue to make music in a phenomenal program. In order for me to get to know you, I'll share a little about me to get started. I am originally from Rochester Hills just like you! I attended West Middle School, and Rochester High School.
From there I went to study at Central Michigan University, where I received my degree in Music Education. I received my Masters Degree in Instrumental Wind Conducting through the American Band College with Sam Houston State University after teaching music in Florida for two years. I have been teaching band at VH for ten years now and am excited to get to know you!
I enjoy traveling, hiking, reading, working out, and of course spending time making music and playing my oboe. I currently perform in the Southeastern Michigan Wind Ensemble, and will invite you to all of my future concerts once we start playing again! I live in Royal Oak with my husband, Tim, my son, Ellis, and our dog, Sadie. I look forward to seeing all of you very soon!
Musically,Mrs. Kelsey Folmar
