Ms. Angerer’s Music Madness

All About Me

Welcome to Sacred Heart’s Music Program! I am Ms. Katie Angerer, general music teacher for Sacred Heart School of Glyndon for full day kindergarten through grade 8. I also direct two school choirs—an intermediate choir for students in grades four and five, and a middle school chorus for students in grades six through eight. I received my Bachelors of Music Education from Indiana University in 2002, with an emphasis on choral/general music. My training began with the Children’s Chorus of Maryland in 1984-1994 under the direction of Betty Bertaux and Andrea Nutter Macon. I then went on to study private voice with Mary Ruzicka and Teresa Kubiak. I also studied piano at Jordan Kitts Music in Timonium under the instruction of Ross Merriman. In my ever-present drive to learn more about my favorite topic, I currently study mandolin at the Appalachian Bluegrass Shoppe in Catonsville with Charles Roe.

Sacred Heart School Music

The Sacred Heart School music program consists of general classroom music for all students in grades K-8. Our emphasis is on vocal and instrumental music using the Kodaly, Orff-Schulwerk and Dalcroze methods of teaching music. The students learn how to sing songs, play xylophones and other percussion instruments, read music, and analyze musical excerpts ranging from Bach to rock! The over-arching theme of my classroom is that MUSIC IS FUN!!
