Dear Musicians and Parents,
I am so excited to have you in Music this year! I know that we will learn a lot from each other. Let me tell you a bit about myself. I was born and raised in Ohio. I relocated here due to my husband's work; and I am very happy to be a Texan! I have been teaching music for 37 years. I have a Bachelor of Science in Music Education with a Major in Voice and a Minor in Piano; and a Master of Arts in Vocal Pedagogy. Both degrees are from The Ohio State University. My teaching experience includes High School, College and Private Music Studio work, as well as Church Choirs, Music Theory, Show Ensembles and Musicals. I have every confidence that together you and I can improve the quality of our lives through music. I am fully invested in helping you be all that you can be - a skillful, confident singer or pianist who enjoys making beautiful music. I am very much looking forward to our learning music together. Let's start our 'journey' this year. Music study is for a lifetime. It's going to be a great year! Annette L.

This group of men ranges from new choir members, to older more experienced singers. They prepare music for the four on-campus concerts: Fall, Winter, Pre-UIL, and Spring.
