My name is Carrie Patton and I’m a music educator! I went to the University of Missouri-Kansas City and graduated with my Bachelor’s of Music Education. I’m currently getting my Masters degree in Curriculum and Instruction at Northwest Missouri State University. I’m currently in my seventh year of teaching at an elementary school and I’m having a blast! My main philosophy of Music Education is to shape all of my students into Tuneful, Artful, and Beatful kids who are able to partake in music throughout their lives, find an appreciation for music, and to pass down that love to the next generations. I’ve gotten certifications in both First Steps in Music and Conversational Solfege (American Kodaly), which are both pedagogies of Dr. John Feierabend. Most of my posts will be coming from the viewpoint of both of those curriculums!
For fun I like to read books, play the clarinet and ukulele, play video games, figure out new make up techniques, travel, try new foods, cook, and watch way too much Netflix and Youtube.
