I am a community arts educator. Who supports and encourages cooperative education programs? I’m also a devoted and enthusiastic teacher with proven ability to ensure all students receive school center based education as required by each institution. I have 50 years of teaching experience in public, private, and institutional settings for students in grades K through 12. As an accomplished musician with an emphasis on percussion, my talents and dedication to children, adults go beyond performing and teaching. My kind and nurturing disposition combined with my enthusiasm creates an atmosphere conducive for my students to reach their full creative potential. I believe an effective teacher must provide and maintain a positive and supportive learning environment to facilitate Individual student growth. That is my teaching style.
