37 | Charissa Duncanson's Music Teacher Journey
In this episode I share a conversation with Charissa Duncanson on her music teacher journey.
Charissa Duncanson (kuh- rih-suh dung-kin-sen) has taught K-5th grade general music in the Metro Detroit Area since 2014. Born and raised in Michigan, Charissa began her musical journey in elementary school.
Throughout her childhood Charissa participated in choirs, bands, and theatre within her community and schools. She earned a Bachelor of Music in Vocal Education from Wayne State University and currently teaches at Blackwell K-8th Grade Institute in Detroit Public Schools.
As a professional, Charissa has presented locally and internationally at conferences and PD workshops. Being an avid advocate for music education, Ms. Duncanson has served on multiple boards for music education associations including MMEA Michigan, Detroit Orff Schulwerk Association, and The American Orff Schulwerk Association.
In her spare time Charissa loves to craft and go on walks with her husband and dog, Maizey.
I absolutely loved being able to chat with Charissa. She shares so many wonderful insights into music education and her journey to become the music teacher she is today.
