About Mrs. Hays
The 2019-2020 school year marks my 10th year teaching music and my 6th year teaching music at Washington Elementary School. I attended Illinois Wesleyan University and graduated with a degree in Music Education. After graduating college, I went to Capital University and received my Kodály Certification. I'm excited to be a student again as I attend Illinois State University to complete my Masters in Music Education. I play the piano and violin, and love to sing!
When I'm not teaching, I enjoy spending time with my children Desmond and Penelope, my husband Aaron, and our dog Ulu. We enjoy going for walks, playing at the park, being out and about in town, watching movies, and spending time with our family. My goal as a teacher is to share the joy of music with my students. I hope to instill a love and appreciation for music, as well as encourage students to use music throughout their entire lives. It is truly a joy to create music with the children at Washington Elementary School! |
