Burnside Elementary School

Greetings! This is my third year as the music and drama teacher here at Burnside and I am very pleased to be a part of such an outstanding team of teachers and faculty.

My husband, four children and I live in Wayne County. I have been a music teacher for sixteen years. I have enjoyed an exciting life as a classical pianist, teaching elementary music, teaching piano, string instruments, woodwinds, voice, and band. It has been a joy to incorporate all these into our Elementary Arts and Humanities program here at Burnside!

I have an opportunity to see all Burnside's students once a week for music. We enjoy learning music in many different forms including movement, listening, centers, as well as performing vocally and with all sorts of instruments.

Additional music opportunities for your child include:
