Here goes my 17th year of teaching!  I studied music at John Brown University (B.A. Applied Music) before I started teaching, and I finished my Master's Degree at Drury University.  I taught high school choir in AR for 3 years before coming back to my home area, Lebanon, MO, and beginning to teach at Partridge Elementary.  My desire to share a love of music with others also extends to my community, where I play the piano at White Oak Pond Cumberland Presbyterian Church, and sing in a select choir, Lebanon Chamber Chorale.
