Featured Teacher: Alice Boyer, Music
This year TVA was fortunate to hire Alice Boyer to lead our music program! Mrs. Boyer covered for our music teacher last year, and she produced a phenomenal Spring Concert that was energetic, relaxed and just plain fun! The highlight was an all-school praise and worship song, with both vocals and accompaniment done entirely by students.
Each month we are going to feature different teachers and staff at TVA to help our TVA family get acquainted with each other even better. This month we are featuring Mrs. Boyer. Let's get to know who she is!
About Mrs. Boyer
Mrs. Boyer has 35 years of experience in music and music education. She studied Opera Performance at Penn State University and Music Education at Edinboro University of Pennsylvania. Her career began in performance and she pursued that for many years, but eventually she decided that she preferred teaching as it was much more rewarding!
Teaching is not new to Mrs. Boyer. She has directed Douglas County Children's Chorus in Denver, CO, taught music at Scappoose Adventist Academy, co-founded the Scappoose High School Jazz Choir, and she is an adjudicator for Oregon State Solo and Ensemble.
When asked what she loves about her job now, she talks about the diversity. Teaching both band and choir is exciting!
What is Mrs. Boyer most excited about doing this year with her class? Developing young worship leaders and helping students to grow outside the box.
We are excited to see the amazing things that Mrs. Boyer will accomplish this year, both in teaching students about music and teaching them to lead and grow outside of that box!
