Music Student Teacher:
Please welcome my student teacher, Mary Kate Hayden, from Elmhurst College. Miss Hayden plays the clarinet, piano, and is also a vocalist. She also performs with various ensembles at Elmhurst and is in the Sigma Alpha Iota Music Fraternity. She hopes to one day teach at the middle school level. Miss Hayden studied abroad in Jamaica and plans to share music she learned there in her lessons. I look forward to seeing her teach in my classroom.
