About The Teacher

Mrs. Kelly Jo Birmingham

I have been teaching in DeKalb County School System since August 1996. 
I received my Bachelor's of Music and Master's Degrees from Tennessee 
Technological University. Currently, I teach general music to students at 
both NES and SES. 

I have been married to my wonderful husband, Eric, for over fifteen years. 
We have four terrific children, their ages ranging from 10 to 4 years. We 
also have a Bassett Hound named Kita, who we consider as part of our family. 
Weekly Girl Scout and Cub Scout meetings tend to keep me busy after school!

I have a passion for music AND for my students. I am delighted to be 
returning to Northside Elementary School as your child's music teacher! I am 
ready to make this year the BEST yet!

Mission For The Class

I try to make music fun for the students. During a typical music class, I 
like to introduce a music game or activity at the end of the lesson to 
reinforce the day's objective. I also encourage cross-curricular activities 
which helps to reinforce learning in other subject areas. 

I believe when children laugh, they are listening. When they listen, they 
are learning.

I also believe if children can walk, they can dance. If they can talk, they 
can sing.
