McClung MS Orchestra
Mrs. Brenning
This year is my seventh year as an orchestra director in FWISD. I have been teaching children and adults how to play stringed instruments since 1995. I enjoy working with students of all ages and helping them learn how to play the violin, viola, cello and bass. I have also taught students the 5 string banjo and guitar. I am looking foward to teaching YOU this year at Jean McClung Middle School.
