I am a vocalist and music educator.  I have a BA of Performance and Music Education at Bethel College and a MS of Educational Technology at Walden University. I have taught elementary music for 23 years.

I love to sing and enjoy performing with my church choir. 

I live in Edwardsburg with my husband and two daughters.  My husband, Mr. Gruver is also an elementary music teacher.  He teaches in Niles.  He also is a skilled trumpet player.  He plays in a local professional group called the Symphony Quintet.  My oldest, Marie is a junior at Hollins University.  She now lives in Virginia, 11 hours away.  I'm so proud of her achievements.  My youngest, Aubrey is in 12th grade; at Edwardsburg High School.  Aubrey is in Varsity Chorale, Band and performs in the school's plays and musicals. She is also an honors student. I am so proud of her. We are a musical family. 

We have a little cat named Penny and a dog named Charlie. 

I am so happy to teach you music at Edwardsburg.
