Hello, I’m Doug Moore, and I’m excited to be the district's Elementary Choir Director. I’ve been teaching and leading Music for over 35 years (nearly 20 years teaching K-12 in California), and have taught students from ages 4 to 92. Though I have taught a wide spectrum of Music classes (vocal, instrumental, theory, general music), the emphasis of my training and experience has been teaching voice. I hold college degrees in Music, Theater, Business, and Education, and have pursued post-graduate work in Educational Leadership. All this is to say that I’m highly qualified to wave my hands in front of the group and look like I know what I’m doing!
Much of my success outside of Music and Education has come as a direct result of the skills I learned in Choir (my Music background has led to a lot more job offers than my Business degree!). As such, one of my main objectives is to help my students make the connection between what they are doing in their Choir class and how that skill translates to the “real world,” answering the time-honored question of “when will I ever use this outside of class.”
Thank you for allowing me to teach your child how to let music improve their lives.
