Q & A with Mrs. Middleton
Passion:
I am passionate about experiencing music in many different ways. We can experience music hands on through singing, playing instruments or games, movement, and creating our own music. We also can experience music through listening, describing, watching, and even reading about it.
Favorite part of teaching:
I love the moment when you are working with a student and they have the “light bulb moment”, where everything they have been working toward and practicing comes together and they know they have made it!
Favorite teaching memory:
I had a voice student that had terrible stage fright and she wanted to work on singing out and feeling comfortable singing in front of people. After a semester of working together she auditioned for a musical at her school and she ended up being cast in a small supporting role and singing in front of an audience!
My hope for my students:
I hope to develop passions for music and inspire creativity and confidence.
Fun fact:
Outside of the classroom I love singing opera, teaching voice lessons, and spending time with my husband and our new baby we welcomed into the world at the beginning of the year!
