OMEA STATE SMALL ENSEMBLE COMPETITION

This was the first year for OMEA (Oregon Music Educator's Association) to sponsor a Small Ensemble competition at the State level. Tillamook was proud to send Liz and Shelby on May 1st. Good job, girls. You represented us very well!!!

A LITTLE ABOUT ME

This is my 14th year as the Tillamook High School and Tillamook Junior High School Choir Director for the year 2015-2016. (My 28th year with Tillamook School District #9...I taught elementary general music for 14 years.) I taught 3 years elementary general music in Kelso, Washington before teaching in Tillamook.

At THS I direct Mixed Choir (a non-auditioned choir), Concert Choir (an auditioned competition choir) and Vocal Ensemble (an auditioned touring choir).

At TJHS I direct the Mixed Choir and teach Drama.

I love my job.

I enjoy building relationships with my students and I love the way they quickly learn new techniques and grow in their musicianship. My hope is that I nurture a passion for music in my students.

We're having a great time!
