Music Teacher

Welcome to General Music with Mrs. Beaudoin!

Music is self-expression, music is feeling, music is math, music is history,  music is science, music is mindfulness, music is life...that’s why our hearts have beats.

My Philosophy of Music Education:

I believe music is a form of human behavior that needs to be nurtured and cultivated to help develop the whole child.  In the words of music therapist Thayer Gaston, ”All mankind has need for aesthetic experience. Children… of all cultures, need music for their healthy and normal  development.”
