Claremont students sing, play instruments, improvise melodies, variations and accompaniments, compose music, read and notate music, listen to, describe, and analyze music, evaluate music and music performances, understand relationships between music, the other arts, and disciplines outside the arts, and understand music in relation to history and culture, and oh yeah, we have a lot of fun!
Los estudiantes de Claremont cantan, tocan instrumentos, improvisan melodías, variaciones y acompañamientos, componen música, leen y escriben música, escuchan, describen y analizan la música y presentaciones musicales, entienden la relación entre la música y las otras artes y disciplinas fuera de las artes, y entienden la música en relación a la historia y la cultura, y la pasamos bien!

This is my 12th year at Claremont! I love to share my love of music with our students. I graduated from the University of Mary Washington with a BA in Music and a Masters in Education. In my spare time I enjoy building instruments and spending time outdoors, doing triathlons, hiking and backpacking.

He enseñado en la Escuela Claremont durante doce años y me siento muy afortunada de continuar aquí. Tengo un doctorado en antropología de la música y no me canso de seguir estudiando porque me encanta aprender. Durante el verano asistí al curso internacional de música Orff en Kouvola, Finlandia, en donde aprendí diferentes maneras de crear, participar y enseñar música. Espero con entusiasmo el inicio del año escolar para poder conocer, reencontrarme y trabajar con los nuevos estudiantes haciendo música.
