About Mrs. Bell......
I grew up in the land of extremes--Montana. One day it could
be 90 degrees and the next day it might be snowing ... all in
July! I was born in Havre, finished high school in Billings,
student-taught in Kalispell, graduated from the University of
Montana, and taught in Superior all before moving to
Seattle.
I taught Elementary
Music (K-6) in the Central Kitsap School District for five years
while living in West Seattle and commuting on the Seattle-Bremerton
Ferry. After having our first child I taught for the next 10
years at The Evergreen School for Gifted Children in
Shoreline. Brookside invited me to join their faculty in the
fall of 1994 and I have loved being here ever
since.
I have many
interests … there is NEVER enough time for all the things
that I love to explore and do. Lady Belle Creations is my
business where I create mosaics of all kinds. I have shown at
many art and craft fair. I love to walk/hike in nature.
The ocean is the best! I do energy work with Healing Touch,
Sound Healing, and am a Reiki
Master.
My philosophy of
teaching is that students come to understand there is a joy in
participating, creating and listening to music. Through their
music class my hope for your children is to come to understand the
connections and the integration of music as it applies to our
culture and the world around us. As a facilitator who guides
students I believe they will discover within themselves, or working
within a group, or in front of an audience their unique artistic
abilities. Through these social/musical experiences I know
students will contribute and find that they are a part of a greater
community, a greater world. In short, my hope is students
discover to be more sensitive to beauty and thus become more
human.
