The Director's Chair with Amy Clark

This week on The Director’s Chair, I sit down with our new Primary School Music Teacher, Katie Personke, to talk all things PS Music!

From making music and building foundational skills to creating joyful first experiences in the arts, Katie shares what’s happening in her classroom and what she’s most excited about as she begins her first year at Indian Hill.

Tune in to meet Katie and get a peek into music at the Primary School!
