Music Teacher

I have been teaching music in District 4 Schools for thirty-two years and at 
the Primary School for 30 years. I began my teaching career at WHS and WJHS 
and stayed at home for five years with my children. When I returned I taught 
at WES and WPS for a year and finally settled at WPS where I have been ever 
since.
I live in Spartanburg with my wonderful husband, David, my pet cats, and 
the cats that we rescue. We have five children and two grandchildren. Besides 
music, I enjoy the beach and taking care of my cats and 20 bird feeders.
I am looking forward to working with all of my students in music class this 
year and watching them grow and become better musicians.

My Mission for Music

My mission is to develop each child's musicianship and to instill in him/her 
an appreciation for all kinds of music that will last a lifetime, whether 
he/she chooses music as a vocation, an extra-curricular activity, or an 
enjoyable pastime.
