It is our pleasure to welcome and introduce Mrs. Vanator as our new 6th grade orchestra teacher! She will be starting on Monday, April 30th. We are so excited to have her as part of our instrumental music staff. Mrs. Vanator is going to bring a new level of energy, pedagogy (alternative styles!), and enthusiasm to our department. We have already started brainstorming ways to incorporate her extensive alternative styles knowledge into the program and curriculum next year. - Mr. Rosin & Mrs. Kroth About Mrs. Vanator Mikaela Vanator holds a Bachelors of Music Education and a Bachelors of Music in Viola Performance from Central Michigan University, where she studied under David Holland and Alicia Valoti.
