Welcome Parents & Students!

Welcome to music class at PAES. I am very excited to be starting the 2018-2019 school year. 

I have had the privilege of teaching music for 32 years at Port Allegany Elementary School! Each year brings new challenges and opportunities, making every day unique and special.

My passion for teaching children and music allows me to do what I love everyday and I hope that students feel the music classroom is a safe place where he/she can explore, develop and display his/her creative talents!

I know that a large part of the success of a music program is great support from the parents. Over the past many years, we have been blessed with a community of people who love to support the program watching children blossom into young, independent musicians. 

it is my hope that our school and community will continue to see the value of arts education in our students' lives and by working together,  provide our students with opportunities to make the world a much more beautiful place in which they live.
