Music With Grace
Hello! My name is Grace Landry.
I’ve been teaching music since 2014. It has always been a meaningful part of my life that I enjoy deeply. Currently, I’m pursuing a BEd in Biology with a minor in Music, combining my love for teaching science in the classroom and teaching music in my own studio. Teaching music from a young age helped me discover my passion and love for it, leading me to become a teacher.
My musical journey includes winning multiple competitions for violin and piano, as well as accompanying choirs. I believe that everyone, regardless of age, should experience the joy that music brings.
Outside the classroom and studying, I love spending quality time with my family, whether we’re enjoying time at home or off on new adventures together. I also enjoy creative hobbies like bullet journaling, embroidery, and woodworking. My dachshund, Bowii, is my world. We love going for walks, park visits, and snuggling to unwind from the day. These passions and experiences outside the classroom help me stay grounded and bring fresh energy to my teaching!
