Music
Melyssa Stone, mrstone@seattleschools.org | website
I'm so excited to be amongst the scholars and musicians-in-training at Queen Anne Elementary! I am in my 6th year of teaching at Seattle Public Schools.
I am a graduate of Seattle Pacific University, majoring in vocal performance and music education. I am also on the board for the Northwest Kodály Educators and am strongly influenced by this approach to music education.
As a performer, I am a vocalist, pianist and violist in the area. I'm also on the staff of Northwest Girlchoir. For fun, I love going to concerts, reading Shakespeare out loud with my husband and taking in beautiful scenery whenever I can.
I believe that everyone deserves music and that singing unlocks potential, creativity and community-building.
I'm excited to get to know this fantastic community and see where music takes us!

Instrumental Music - 4th & 5th Grades

I grew up in Bothell, WA and began my musical life with piano lessons in 1st grade. I picked up the trumpet in 5th grade and settled into the french horn a year later. The horn took good care of me by helping me audition for the Seattle Youth Symphony Orchestra, of which I was a member for 5 years. My continuing education took me to St. Charles, MO where I completed my Bachelor of Arts in Music Education at Lindenwood University and competed at the collegiate level in both Cross Country and Track. Since returning home, I have been performing my horn with orchestras such as, Northwest Symphony, Cascade Symphony, Sammamish Symphony, and Saratoga Chamber Orchestra. I was also a member of the Seattle Sounders band,"Soundwave" for the 2012 season.
