About Mrs. Nelson

I am so excited to be starting my 11th year at McKinley Middle Academic Magnet School and 36th year teaching music in the public schools! I can't think of a better way to spend my day than making music with kids!!


  I have a bachelor's degree in music education from Eastern Washington University and a master's degree in music education from Southern Illinois University in Edwardsville, focusing on the Suzuki Method.  I teach piano, strings and guitar at McKinley.  I love McKinley and its students!

​

This year, students in my classes can expect to learn playing techniques and note reading for their instrument.  In addition, to meet national music standards, students will experience the basics of improvising and creating their own music.  We will do our best to make music playing fun while learning!
