Her philosophy is that every student should experience enjoying and making music.  The human brain lights up and engages when experiencing music and language development.  Music and language learning are imperative on their own, but also opens a completely new world to students. Her hopes and dreams is that students can create music and speak on their own.  An ideal goal is that students can create their own music, and carry on their own conversation without assistance. Her favorite activities in class is learning how to play the piano and  having students design and create their own instruments, reading novels in Spanish, and preparing to play with symphony at an upcoming field trip to the Flagstaff Symphony Orchestra.
