Mrs. Amanda Rood

7th-12th grade band, chorus, ensemble, music theory, music history.

Welcome to Music! I am so excited to be able to continue to teach a subject that I love! Music and the arts are so important to the human race---it makes us who we are! Creativity, being a team player, responsibility, and accomplishment are all concepts that you learn in being a part of an ensemble! I hope that we continue to grow as a team and make beautiful music this year!

If anyone has questions about 7th-12th grade music classes, feel free to email [email protected].

I am also a member of the Guidance Department serving as MMS and ALP coordinator and an Assistant Athletic Director for grades 7-12.

Mass Musicians

We are always looking for singers and instrumentalists for our school Masses.  If you are interested, please see Mrs. Rood in the main office.

“If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music.”     ~Albert Einstein~

"Music can change the world because it can change people." ~Bono, U2~

"Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination,
and life to everything." ~Plato~

"Music does bring people together. It allows us to experience the same emotions. People everywhere are the same in heart and spirit.  No matter what language we speak, what color we are, the form of our politics or the expression of our love and our faith, music proves: We are the same." ~John Denver~
