President's Note:

Samantha McElhaney John 

As a music director, performing artist, teaching professional and vocal instructor since 1995 who has traveled the world directing and performing, I am committed to providing a solid education and instilling music appreciation in all students. This is accomplished by integrating cooperative and creative learning in varied lesson plans and providing a well rounded learning experience for students. I have proven ability to creatively teach music of different genres, styles and cultural backgrounds. Having earned my Masters in Music, I put a strong emphasis on my education because I believe it is one of my foremost assets, combined with other factors.
