About Mrs. Ratliff

Welcome Everyone!

I am currently in my 6th year of teaching. I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Music and a Masters of Music in Jazz Studies from the University of Arkansas at Monticello. I have a pitbull named Moose. I also recently got married and now have a baby girl on the way! Music has always been a huge part of my life. My dad is a DJ so I have had a big musical influence since day one. I have had the opportunity to travel to many places around the United States and create amazing memories because of music, and I strive to create the opportunity for these students to have great experiences as well.

Meet our Percussion Tech!

I'm Colton Wofford, a percussionist with a strong passion for rhythm and musical expression. I enjoy playing a wide range of percussion instruments and take pride in my timing, feel, and consistency. I'm always working to improve my skills and bring my energy and focus to every practice and performance.
