Brittani Clark

Hello,

I Colorful_notesam very glad that you are visiting my Blog.  Please email me for questions about the information.  I am also always looking for helpful websites to post for my students.

I earned my Bacholer's Degree in Music Education from Kennesaw State University and I am currently pursuing my Master's Degree in Curriculum and Instruction form Lesley University.  I will finish this program in April.  Emmy_up_close

I have a wonderful husband and two very sweet labaradors at home in Paulding County.  I hope to one day have children, but for now I have my dogs.

I love to teach both chorus and general music in middle school.  This is the point in a young singer's life that they can build foundational skills that will help them continue singing for the rest of their lives. Music students can final use their knowledge of music Prissy_portrait to  connect the information we learn in class to the music that they enjoy as well as learning about other musical outlets.

This uniform must be worn at all chorus performances!!
