In choir/vocal music, students explore various forms of music, delving into history, culture, and theory through song. They also practice sight-reading daily to develop their independent musicianship.
My name is Jayden Humphrey, and I am so excited to be the choir teacher at Wilbur. This will be my second-year teaching, and after teaching elementary last year, I am beyond excited to move into teaching Middle School. I graduated from Goddard High School and then got my degree from Emporia State. In my free time, I like to play guitar, watch sports, go fishing, and sing with my barbershop quartet. I am so excited for the great music we are going to make this year. If you have questions, please feel free to email me.
