Hello! I am the Music teacher at Castle Hills Elementary School and a recent graduate of the University of North Texas’ music education program! Growing up my elementary years in California, I never experienced a music program in the public school. It gives me a much greater appreciation for the music education program set up in Texas, and the higher expectations brought to the fine arts area.

My teaching philosophy is centered around interculturalism, the idea of intermingling different cultures by seeing the differences and similarities of each one. Along with creating lifelong learners and an appreciation for music, I use my classroom to support students' discovery of having pride in their unique background while also accepting and understanding students who come from different cultures! All around the world, there is always something to celebrate, why not make music a celebration? 

I hope we have a wonderful year filled with music, fun, and culture! Please, if you have any questions regarding music please email at: mnguye@neisd.net or connect with me on class dojo.
