PIANO LIST

welcome to music!

I'm Ms. Nelson, and this is my tenth year of teaching! After graduating from Oklahoma State University, I moved from Tulsa, OK, to Dallas, TX, to teach at FRE. I am currently getting my master's degree in Educational Leadership to become a principal. In addition to teaching music, I direct the Forestridge Choir and FRE Stomp Crew.
