30 seconds with: The Clague Middle School Orchestra

Abby Alwin has taught orchestra for 17 years at Clague Middle School for 17 years—and loves it.

“I feel fortunate to be a part of such a great learning community at Clague, and to be part of an awesome team of educators that focuses on our students’ success,” she says. “We have a wonderful community of musicians in at Clague and the students love digging into great literature from Vivaldi (which is featured in the video above) to Duke Ellington.  Striving toward expressiveness and excellence is one of our core values, and music-making is such a great way to help us connect with each other in our endeavors.”
