Music has the power to transport us to another time and place.

As a Music Educator, I love to harness that power with a broad audience of students, fellow music lovers, and passionate musicians alike. 

​

I am passionate about educating students in music and its appreciation based on the Orff-Schulwerk methodology. I have built a strong track record of over 14 years of professional classroom experience educating students from pre-kindergarten and kindergarten; elementary, middle and high school; as well as in volunteer settings.

My work has included complex music and drama productions; music bands and instrumental ensembles; as well as choirs and other vocal ensembles, with over 200 performances consisting of participants ranging from age 4 to age 40!

Throughout my career, I have successfully demonstrated a keen ability to assess students' learning abilities and a strong ability to encourage my students to find their passion in music. I consider myself resourceful and am constantly updating my teaching style to make learning more engaging.

In the course of pursuing my passion, I have also successfully grown my own music teaching practice, from which I have developed a strong foundation in managing business fundamentals. 

​

Sincerely, 

Joyce
