Welcome to Saint Mary School Music! We look forward to a great year in music class with your student/students. Music concepts, application of concepts throught keyboard and singing are the focus of our programs. A variety of music experiences are offered to our students. Please visit our classroom and feel free to contact me at anytime.

attitudes rather than proficiency of a skill. Please check the
