“I like to make math as hands-on as possible. We learn the how-to and the music application, then work on hands-on activities.”

“I want students to leave with an understanding and appreciation of where math is used in music and real life. I want students to know that math doesn’t have to be scary, no matter your previous experience with the subject.”

“I’m a middle school teacher by day. Teaching at this level allows me to constantly work at reaching students of all ability levels, to learn which concepts need focus, and how to best deliver content and activities to my students.”
