Miss Lopas
Miss Lopas began
teaching band at SKDS in 2011. This was also her first year of teaching
after graduating from UW-Madison. She did her student teaching at Spring
Harbor Middle School and Memorial High School in Madison. Miss Lopas
subbed during the 2010/2011 school year in the Madison Metropolitan
School District.
Originally from Hartford, Wis., Miss Lopas enjoys
hiking, camping, knitting, and of course, playing the trumpet. The
trumpet is her main instrument and she has been playing since she was in
fifth grade.
Miss Lopas knew since first grade that she wanted to be
a teacher, and when she started band in fifth grade, this answered the
question of what she wanted to teach. Her favorite thing about being a
teacher is working with and inspiring young people to love and enjoy
making music.
Words of advice to her students? “Don’t ever stop playing or listening
to music. You don’t have to be an orchestral clarinetist for music to
have a huge impact on your life after school.”
