My goal as a music teacher is to help each child develop a love and interest in music that will be life-long. Music has played such an important part in my life and I hope to foster a joy of music in others.  

I have been teaching music for almost 32 years in Mulvane. I received my Bachelor's degree in Music Education from the University of Kansas in 1994 and my Master's in Elementary Music Education from Wichita State in 2007.  I have two grown children in their 20's.   

The district music curriculum teaches towards the National Core Arts Standards. These standards revolve around creating, performing, responding, and connecting to music. I try to offer the students a wide variety of musical experiences within the classroom setting: singing, playing, moving, basic music theory, music history & appreciation that is age appropriate.
