Vocal Music Marie Stuart

Welcome! My name is Marie Stuart and I have been the general music teacher at Southeast Elementary since 2010 and  teach an additional 4th grade music class at Northwest Elementary (2023-24). I love helping students grow as musicians, especially helping them develop their voice and confidence in all areas of their musicianship. I work to create a safe space in the music room for all students to share their voice and be creative as a musician. When I am not at school I stay busy as a mom and enjoy traveling, cooking/baking, and being outside. I have also worked as a volunteer Certified Child Passenger Safety Technician since 2002.
