Vocal Music Marie Stuart

Welcome! My name is Marie Stuart and I have been the general music teacher at Southeast Elementary since 2010. I love helping students grow as musicians, especially helping them develop their voice and confidence in all areas of their musicianship. I was very shy in my elementary years and I work create a safe space in the music room for all students to share their voice and take creative risks as a musician. When I am not at school I am on mom duty and enjoy traveling, cooking/baking, and being outside. I have also worked as a volunteer Certified Child Passenger Safety Technician since 2002.
