Hello Everyone!
I'm Mrs. Meche, and along with my co-teacher, Mr. Crosson, we have the privilege of bringing music to our Kindergarten through 6th grade students. Our goal is to inspire a lifelong love and appreciation for music in all its forms while creating meaningful, joyful experiences for every child.
Our music classroom is filled with exciting opportunities for students to explore and create using handbells, Boomwhackers, xylophones, glockenspiels, world drums and percussion instruments, recorders, ukuleles, guitars, and so much more! Above all, we strive to provide a nurturing, encouraging environment where every student feels comfortable to sing, move, play, create, and express themselves through music.
When your child comes home excited to share what we're learning in music class or about one of our performances or special programs, we hope you'll celebrate that excitement with them. Your encouragement and enthusiasm make a tremendous difference and help foster their confidence and love of music.
I am truly excited for another wonderful year of making music together with the amazing South McKeel Academy Wildcats. Here's to a year filled with learning, creativity, and unforgettable musical memories!
Joyfully Singing!!
Mrs. Meche
