Pensacola Christian College

When I went to Pensacola Christian College, my musical knowledge was limited; but through hard work and the dedication of my teachers, I graduated with the knowledge and skills necessary to teach music education in elementary, junior high, and high school. My goal was to teach music in a private Christian school; although, my education prepared me for secular or private education.

Today, I am a music teacher in a small Christian school (275) where I have an extensive schedule which includes but is not limited to the following: teaching general music to grades K4-3; band and choir to grades 4-6, 7-8, and 9-12; handchimes to grades 7-12; and instrument lessons to grades 4-7. My college training equipped me with the ability to get my students ready for state and national competitions. Every year my elementary groups rate a 1 rating, and my junior high and senior groups have won various state competitions (placing 1st, 2nd, and 3rd)over the years in choir, band, handchimes, and vocal solos. Those who have won in state on the senior high level have gone on to national competition. This year my handchime choir will be going to national competition. This has all been possible because of the training I received at Pensacola Christian College.(I did not enter my salary simply because any teacher that is dedicated can tell you that it is not about the money. It is about the young people.)
