Hello! I am the Director of Education with New Harmony Line. I began this new career in June after retiring from 32 years of teaching General and Adaptive Music in the Iowa City Community School District. I taught K-9 for 13 years and 7-12 my last 18 with my first year as a long-term substitute teacher working with students with Behavior Disorders. My Bachelor’s Degree from the University of Iowa was in Music Education/Music Therapy and I have a Master’s Degree in Music Education specializing in Music Therapy and Behavior Disorders. I hope, with my previous experience, to support you with your students or clients of any age, interest or ability level!
I piloted the first model of Hyperscore in 2003 and have been teaching my students to make music with the software ever since. I was very excited to hear about the web-based program–if you have used Hyperscore before, you will love the updates Chief Technology Officer Peter Torpey has made to freshen the platform and extend it’s educational capabilities while still keeping the user-friendly graphic interface Hyperscore is known for!
Enjoy this website or contact me for information about Hyperscore or being a part of our Fall 2021 web-based Beta Model Pilot Project. You can receive training via Zoom or use our recorded 7/23/21 training. You will also receive 4 modules to introduce the Elements of Music through Hyperscore including Rhythm, Melody, Harmony and Dynamics and Form and Tone Color. Personalize the videos, the language, or the wording for whatever age/population you are working with.
Looking forward to helping you and others make music!
