    N to Eighth Grade Music


  • Teacher Information

    Hello! My name is Miss Winsch and I am the Music Teacher for all students in Nursery-8th grade! I graduated from LIU Post with my Bachelor's Degree in Music Education N-12 and my Master's Degree in Childhood Education, Grades 1-6. I have previously taught music in public schools on the elementary and secondary level and was also a teacher's assistant and substitute teacher. I have been teaching music at Holy Family since 2012. I have been teaching music in the Diocese since 2009. I am also the Music Curriculum Lead for all of the music teachers in the DRVC. I believe that every child at Holy Family School should receive a solid foundation in music through singing, movement, instrument playing, and composing. Each class and grade level will explore these four components every time they have music. The students in grades K-8 will have music twice a week, one general music class and one sacred music class. This year, I am blessed to have the opportunity to teach Religion to the 5th-7th grades! I am looking forward to working with these students in strengthening their faith in God.  In my spare time, I love to teach piano lessons, exercise, cook, and spend time with my family and friends. I look forward to another wonderful school year with the students at Holy Family!

    Favorite Quotes?

    “And while we sing, remembering to sing is to doubly pray. At once in our hearts and our tongues we offer double prayer sent heavenward on winged notes to praise God dwelling there.” - Saint Cecilia

     "Where words fail, music speaks." ~Hans Christian Anderson



    A Musician’s Prayer for Saint Cecilia 

    Saint Cecilia, intercede for all musicians. 

    Help them remain true to themselves and the creative gifts God has given them.

    May their music help others and do much good in the world, 

    And, one day, may they join in the eternal chorus in Heaven forever.

    Amen.


     

     

    2024 - 2025 School Year

    What can students look forward to when they join your class?
    I want all of my students to develop a love and appreciation for music. I want them to discover their hidden talents and gifts and develop the confidence to perform and enjoy working with others in a safe and loving environment. I want my students to take from my class something that they may not have known prior, whether it be learning to play an instrument or listening to a piece of music from a style they may not have heard before. I want my students to enjoy performing in concerts and programs and develop friendships with students and bonds they will remember well after they graduate from Holy Family. 

    Message to Parents
    Holy Family is a special place for our students where they are known for their many abilities and talents both inside and outside of the classroom. I am looking forward to our Christmas and Spring Concerts and hearing the lovely singing at our school masses and other special events throughout the school year by your children. Your children make me proud every day and I love seeing the “ah-ha!” moments that take place inside my classroom. My classroom is a safe space for students to learn and love the gift of music.
