Laura Shum

I have a passion for making music and learning accessible to all. I am a private percussion instructor and certified PreK-12 music teacher with an endorsement in middle school mathematics. Currently I teach middle school general music and am passionate about helping students realize their potential as music makers. I played an integral role in developing a project based, year long general music course for my district including a day by day guide. I also helped my district create and convert materials for virtual learning. In the past I taught general and instrumental music at the elementary level where I had the opportunity to work with self-contained and inclusion autism classes. It was there that I honed my ability to create scaffolded, multi leveled activities, resulting in a safe environment with choice and differentiation for my students. It is my hope to use my detail oriented yet creative abilities to help others be it through teaching or a new, supportive career path!
