Hello, I am excited to teach Kindergarten Music and 5th Grade Beginning Band at McLaurin Elementary. I have taught music for over 25 years at the elementary, high school and collegiate level. Teaching at each age level has its unique aspects but the one thing in common is to encourage, nurture, and guide each musician and spark their love of music. To see a group of students excited to start and end music class filled with happiness and joy is a wonderful feeling.
