I have taught Art at Youens Elementary since 1992! I love getting to teach the children of past students! I am passionate about both art & art education. I believe that giving this tool to our students gives them a better understanding of the world around them and sharpens their ability to approach problems in a variety of ways. I strive to spark their excitement to investigate their creative side further. I am honored to be afforded the opportunity to go on this creative journey with our students.

Hello, Petrosky parents and musicians! Welcome to music class.

I have more than 8 years of experiencing teaching music, which is my calling.

My goal is to help students grow as musicians. I love teaching them how to perform and act like musicians. As a music educator, it is my honor and pleasure to challenge children every day to their highest potential and to see them gain musical independence in the long run.

I look forward to seeing each of you!

 I have been teaching music education for 29 years. I began my career at Three Rivers Elementary in Sunriver, Oregon. I have spent 18 years here at Youens Elementary. I have always believed in the importance of music education and remember how important it was to me growing up. I have always tried to instill my passion for music in my students.

Two other areas of importance for my life are church and family. I Am married and have three children, six grandchildren, and 2 great grandchildren. I come from a big family of 7 brothers and sisters. I am also the choir director at Joy Lutheran Church in Richmond, Texas. I try to bring the same passion to my choir directing as I do my teaching.
