Gretchen has recently moved back to Port Angeles where she can entertain two of her greatest passions: teaching music to children and enjoying the great outdoors. Her love for music started at age 3 with violin lessons and continued throughout high school and college, where she performed in a wide variety of instrumental and choral ensembles. She has also performed as an oboist with the Port Angeles Symphony Orchestra. Gretchen received her bachelor’s in Music Education in 2002 and recently completed her Master’s in Education. Her experience as a classroom music teacher and private instructor, coupled with a deep love for music, makes learning an exciting enterprise for young students as they play, sing, compose and create music as part of a fun and interactive process.
