I can't wait to meet you!
My name is Sydney Bouwens. I have been participating in music since I was four years old, when I started piano lessons. As you can see below, I have participated in SO many musical things! I have a degree and a Colorado Teaching License in Music Education - K-12 General, Band, Orchestra, and Choir. I just finished up the school year teaching Elementary Music at two Elementary Schools.
Senior year of high school, I had my own private music studio, teaching piano, horn, flute, clarinet, trumpet, and saxophone. I am excited to restart private music instruction with a plethora of musical knowledge, for both adults, youth, and children!
My first middle school concert on horn.
I went to study horn in college! My senior recital went amazing.
