Meet the Director~Ms. Spakes

Hello, and WELCOME to WRMS Chorus! I am new to Rowan County and a 2017 graduate of Appalachian State University with a Bachelor's Degree in Music Education. During my time at App State, I was part of the Treble Choir, Appalachian Chorale, University Singers and Chamber Singers. I also spent a year singing and arranging music for some of the a cappella groups on campus. 
When I am not teaching I enjoy spending time with my family, playing with my dog, and hiking around the North Carolina mountains.
I am excited and ready to get to work in the classroom as we build the choral program at WRMS to new levels!

My Classroom will be..

... an engaging and safe place in which EVERY student is empowered to reach their fullest potential, not just within the walls of the school but in life. I will challenge my students to think outside the box, work together, motivate each other and develop new skills they are not yet even aware they are capable of. They will leave with a newly found passion within them to be a part of something more than themselves and to make a difference.
