Music 6, 7 & 8 - Sister Cynthia Rouleau
I am a Sister of Notre Dame de Namur and have been a Music and Art teacher for several years in Connecticut and now in Vermont. I have a BA in Music from Emmanuel College in Massachusetts, an MA in Religious Education from Boston College, an MA in Art Education from Antioch University and a Doctor of Ministry degree from the Graduate Theological Foundation at Notre Dame University. All of these varied disciplines enhance my teaching of Music.
The News link will include important news and information for parents and students. The Gallery link will give you a chance to “peek into the classroom” during music classes. Music report information for students in grades 6-7-8 will be found on the Homework link. I will post updates regularly, so I hope you will visit often.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact me @ 773-0500 ext. 23.
