Hello! My name is Michelle McGee, and I am very excited to continue with the Deer Creek Elementary School faculty as music teacher.

After graduating from Baylor University in 1986, I taught elementary music in South Bend, Indiana for one year followed by nine years in Arlington, Texas. In 1991, I graduated from the University of North Texas in Denton with a Master of Music Education degree.

From 1997-2001, I taught music major courses and voice instruction at Southwest Baptist University in Bolivar, Missouri and Southwest Missouri State in Springfield, Missouri.

Since my move to Oklahoma in 2001, I have taught at the University of Central Oklahoma in Edmond, Mid-Del Public Schools, and most recently, Yukon Public Schools.

My hobbies include spending time with my three wonderful children, going to movies, and taking vacations in Colorado. I also enjoy singing professionally with the Canterbury Choral Society.

 Curriculum:

Students at Deer Creek  Elementary experience a wide range  of musical studies. Lessons include the study of pitch, rhythm, dynamics, timbre, harmony, melody, form and tempo. These concepts are experienced through singing, listening, movement and composing. The students are also taught musical history and the lives of composers. Every grade level performs a musical production during the year with costuming , scenery and choregraphy. 

The Deer Creek chorus is made of 4^th and 5^th graders who rehearse twice a week.The chorus performs for nursing homes, shopping malls, and schools.
