"As a music educator, I hope to provide my students with an experience in music that will enrich and shape them as human beings. Beyond personal and
social skills, I hope to challenge my students in new ways through
experiences such as giving them new and challenging music, and HIGHLY
encourage my students to see others perform as well. Last but not least, I
hope to develop a love for music in every student and to have my students
aspire for greater knowledge." - Mindy
