About the Blogger

             My name is Kerri MacLennan and I am the Choral Director at Pentucket Regional Middle School and High School. I also teach Music in Society and Public Speaking. I went to the University of New Hampshire and graduated with a degree in Music Education in 2014. My major instrument is my voice, and I have studied and analyze music from all time periods. I am a soprano, and my favorite type of music to sing is Baroque or Classical Opera. One of my favorite performances was in the Fall of 2013 when I performed in my own Senior Recital. I sang pieces by Handel, Faure, Bernstein, Mendelsson, and Donizetti. Currently, I am a member of the Newburyport Choral Society. I enjoy being a part of that ensemble because I learn choral techniques that I can pass onto my students. When I am not singing or planning lessons, I enjoy watching TV or movies, shopping, and drinking coffee.
              I am starting this blog so that I can share my love of music with my students. I would also like to post about lesson plans, teaching strategies, tried-and-true pieces of music, and other happenings in the music education field. I hope you enjoy reading!
