Klondike Elementary Music 


Hello!  My name is Lissa McKinnis, and I am looking forward to sharing music daily with KES students!    I love playing instruments, singing, moving, listening to, and creating music with children.  This will be my 14th year of teaching in TSC, and my seventh year at Klondike.  I have also taught Music Methods to elementary education majors at Purdue University. 

In addition to teaching elementary music, I teach private flute lessons.  When I'm not teaching music, I enjoy spending time with my family.   I have three children who are all TSC students. 

Thank you for sharing your children with me!  


"Elemental music is never just music.  It is bound up with movement, dance and speech, and so it is a form of music in which one must participate, in which one is involved not as a listener, but as a co-performer."

-Carl Orff
