Mrs. Getchell has been teaching music and directing chorus for twelve years,
and this is her seventh year teaching in Northborough. Mrs. Getchell has also
been the musical director for the middle school musical each year. Mrs.
Getchell earned her Bachelor of Arts degrees in Music and English at
Middlebury College in Vermont and her Masters in Music Education degree from
Boston University. Her music degrees have focuses in music education,
piano performance, composition, and jazz voice. Mrs. Getchell continues to
compose original music and arrange choral music for school and professional
choirs in Massachusetts. Mrs. Getchell is a member of MENC and MMEA, and she
plans to take chorus students to the CDMMEA District Festival, and MICCA Solo
& Ensemble Festival this year.
Mrs. Getchell will encourage every student to do their best in music class.
In class, students will explore many different styles of music, perform
music, compose music, listen to music, and study the relationship between
music, art, culture, history, and other disciplines. She hopes that all
students will try to make music a part of their lives inside and outside of
the classroom.
