About The Teachers

Mrs. Williams completed her Bachelor of Science in Music Education at 
Hampton University and her Master of Science degree from McDaniel college in 
Curriculum and Instruction. A musician since the age of 6, and a lover of 
various types of music including Gospel, Jazz, Blues, Classical, and Oldies, 
Mrs. Williams enjoys spending time with family, reading, writing plays and 
stories, composing and arranging music, and working with young people in her 
church. When she is not doing these things she may be on the internet, 
enjoying computer games, or traveling. I am very excited about this school 
year and and working with the students and staff!!!!!!

Ms. Gorman got married this summer and she's now Mrs. Veihmeyer!  (But, you 
can call her Mrs. V.)  She loves to teach as much as she loves to sing!  She 
completed her Bachelor of Music Education at Wheaton College Conservatory of 
Music in 2004, but her family will tell you that she began conducting her 
little sister in concert on their front porch at the age of 3.  This is her 
second year at Perrywood and she CAN'T WAIT to see how much every Perrywood 
musician has grown.

Ms. Dvorak teaches Instrumental Music at Perrywood ES on Mondays, 
Wednesdays, and Fridays and at Patuxent ES on Tuesdays and Thursdays.  She 
completed her Bachelor of Science in Music Education degree at Towson State 
University and is currently in graduate school there.  Ms. Dvorak is active 
as an adjudicator, private studio teacher, and freelance cellist in the 
Baltimore/Washington area.  She is one of the conductors of the Prince 
George's County Jr. Youth Orchestra.  She has written elementary strings 
curriculum for Prince George's County Public Schools.  She recently 
served as a string clinician for the Goddard Public Schools in Goddard, 
Kansas.  She is a member of Music Educators National Conference and Maryland 
Music Educators Association.  You may email her at lisa.dvorak@pgcps.org

Mission For The Class

Mrs. Williams' mission:

       My mission for our students this year is to enhance their talents in 
music and challenge them to reach new levels of excellence across the 
curriculum. We have a new curriculum this year and many challenges await us. 
I am confident that with consistent study and practice we will be 
successful. On the primary level, it is my mission to prepare these students 
in the following areas, reading music, form, melodic direction, identifying 
instruments, and identifying patterns. On the intermediate level, it is my 
mission to work with the students in the following areas writing music, 
instrument classification, musical symbols, texture, dynamic markings, time 
signature, ear training, scales and form.
     
       As always, our school chorus has a policy to insure that students who 
are eligible to participate maintain a good grade point average. Students 
who participate in chorus are not allowed to recieve no more than one letter 
grade of "C" in any subject on their report card in order to remain. I am 
expecting a great year!!!!


Mrs. Veihmeyer's Mission:

     My mission is to guide students through the process of exploration as 
they discover their own passion and appreciation for music and its many 
facets.  Together, we will experience the joys and challenges of perceiving, 
reading, writing, and performing music from many continents and centuries.  
We will work together to understand what music is, why we have it, how it 
works, and how to create our own.  And, we will strive for excellence as we 
sing and play as one voice.


Ms. Dvorak's mission:

To work "Hand In Hand", guiding Perrywood Instrumental Music students 
through 
the philosophy and objectives of the Prince George's County Elementary 
Instrumental Music Program:  "To provide students with the appropriate 
resources, experiences, and opportunities to develop positive attitudes and 
sensitivities toward instrumental music through the development of music 
reading skills, playing skills on a band or orchestral instrument, ensemble 
performance skills, and an appreciation of the historical development of 
music".
