Hi! My name is Anita, and I have operated a flute studio in the Valley since 2010. I also teach beginning-intermediate piano. I am a full-time Band Director for the Glendale Elementary School District. I also serve as lead band teacher for the district, coordinating the band program for all of our schools. When I am not teaching at school or privately, I am studying Music Education as a Master's degree student at Arizona State. I hope to graduate with that degree in December 2013. I also travel to conducting workshops, and have performed with the ProMusic Arizona orchestra in Anthem.
