I've had the joy of teaching Elementary music and movement as an Orff Schulwerk specialist for over 30 years.. I began my career in Douglas County - teaching in 3 different Elementary Schools (Plum Creek, Larkspur and South) for 20+ years, before moving to New York in 2002 to marry my husband, Julius. While I was there, I taught at Trevor Day School, a private school in Manhattan for 11 years. I returned to Douglas County for the start of the 2013 school year in order to be closer to my grandchildren, who seem to just be growing up too fast.
I have a son who teaches Middle School social studies and lives in Colorado Springs with his wife and 3 children. My daughter and her family live in the Springs, too. They have one girl and are expecting another child in January - so I'll be up to 5 grandchildren then. It's great to be living so close to all of them.
My husband, Julius, and I enjoy hanging out, making music and cooking together. We are a couple of foodie musicians. We also like to travel.
In addition to teaching Elementary music, I teach adults in the summer in various Orff Schulwerk Music and Movement Teacher Education courses. I work on a couple of off-board committees for The American Orff-Schulwerk Association and I'm active in our district music work and the local Orff chapter.
