I love being a music educator at CMA because I am allowed to be creative in the music curriculum. K-6th grade students are exposed to musical math, history, science, theory, composition, playing, and singing. It's just, good fun being the one to see the thrill in their eyes as they recognize their amazing (toe tapping) accomplishments.
