Welcome!

Dear Students and Families,

Welcome to an exciting year of music! I am thrilled to be your music teacher and to have the opportunity to work with such talented and enthusiastic students at the middle and high school levels. Whether you're exploring general music, learning the guitar, or playing in the orchestra, this is a space where we will grow together, have fun, and make lasting memories through music.

In my classroom, I aim to foster creativity, teamwork, and a deep appreciation for the arts. My goal is to help each student not only develop their musical skills but also build confidence and find joy in expressing themselves through sound. Whether you are picking up an instrument for the first time or continuing your musical journey, there is always something new and exciting to discover.

Throughout the year, we will be engaging in hands-on lessons, performing together, and exploring a variety of musical genres and techniques. I believe that music has the power to connect us, inspire us, and make us better listeners and communicators, both in and out of the classroom.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need support. I'm here to help you succeed and enjoy the world of music!

Here's to a fantastic year ahead, filled with learning, growth, and of course, great music!

Sincerely,
Jessica Hanna
Music Teacher
Southwest Middle and High School
