Hi! I'm Teresa Smith and I teach grades 6-7 general music and 8th grade guitar, as well as 6-8 vocal music. This is my 31st year of teaching! I have three kids (two are grown and living in Sioux Falls and my son is a senior in high school this year) and two dogs. I got a puppy for my birthday back in March so he has been my COVID project. Their names are Bogey and Chip. I look forward to getting back to school and seeing (and hearing!) you in my room.
