Welcome to the Peck Place School Music blog! I am thrilled to work with your students this year. As a graduate of the University of Connecticut and an elementary music educator for the past seven years, I have experience working with students of various backgrounds, ages, and proficiencies. I believe that all students should be endowed with musical experiences, allowing them to explore and to reap the educational benefits that music has to offer. Music enables students to create, think analytically, collaborate with peers, make decisions, develop discipline, and build self-esteem.
Please check back often for updates regarding concerts, student learning, examples of student work, music history information, and more. You can subscribe to this blog by entering your email in the "Follow by Email" field on the right. If you have any questions or concerns throughout the year, do not hesitate to contact me at kturkosz@orange-ed.org. I am looking forward to an exciting year of learning with the students at Peck Place!
