So very proud of these awesome kiddos for preparing and auditioning for the #cmea southern region music festival. Their hard work & determination were on full display, and we’re grateful for their efforts. #orchestra #honorsfestival #band #music Amy Perras

East Shore 7th & 8th grade rehearsing and it sounds pretty good! Tuesday, December 19, 6:30pm, Foran. Hope to see you there! #music #concert #orchestra Amy Perras Dr. Perry Carlson

Orchestra students brought down the house tonight at our Winter Concert. What a lovely way to ring in the holiday! @MrGenovaESMS @MrJuhaszMPS Amy Perras #youngtalent

These talented kiddos, let me tell you! They work so hard to make the music real and meaningful, and I am grateful to them for it. #concert #music #orchestra Dr. Perry Carlson Amy Perras

This seems like a super obvious thing, right? More diverse strategies = more ways to help learners understand.

And just like that, the concert was 3 weeks ago. East Shore kiddos performed so well and I’m very proud of what they accomplished. Onward to the next performance on March 7… #music #concert #orchestra Amy Perras Dr. Perry Carlson @MrGenovaESMS

I love making music with these kiddos! #proudteacher #orchestra #music

Rhythm day! Actually, rhythm day is pretty much every day, but who’s counting!? #rhythm #music #orchestra

It’s about that time where we start preparing for the next concert. East Shore six graders are all over prepping their music for success. #concertseason #miosm #orchestra #music

#grateful for all my awesome students & parents. #miosm #musicmatters

Proud orchestra teacher here

So proud of these kiddos who represented Milford at the Connecticut Music Educators Association Southern Region Music Festival. They earned a spot in the orchestra and the performance was incredible. Stay tuned for clips of them performing. #music #orchestra #musicfestival #cmea

Some clips of our amazing Milford musicians at the CMEA music festival. If you look closely, you can see Hina! #music #orchestra #cmea

I love getting to visit the Scholastic Art Awards at The Hartt School each year. Such amazing artwork by talented & motivated kiddos! #artshow #teacher #education

Love the Harborside Penguin Grill making delicious food for #NationalGrilledCheeseDay! Thanks so much for what you do. HarborsideMiddleSchool Suzanne Gill Vitaletti

What do you do when you can’t use your regular rehearsal space? Move rooms and adapt. These kiddos are awesome! #orchestra #teacherlife #music

6 days until the East Shore Spring Concert!! Hope to see you there. #music #orchestra #concert #concertseason #strings

Teach your instrument day returns! I love this time of year and watching the kiddos help others learn how to play their instrument. #music #orchestra #2024

One of my favorite traditions is to have all the string kiddos sign an instrument ‘yearbook’ at the end of the year. I may have missed a year here and there, but I’m glad the tradition lives on this year. #Yearbook #Music #Orchestra

So long 23-24 school year; it’s been a wild, fun ride!  I’m also excited to announce that I am moving on from Milford and will be the new Orchestra Teacher at Adams Middle School! I have truly enjoyed my years in Milford and am excited for the next leg of this awesome journey.
