Meet Mrs. Munsell:

The Munsells at Eyjafjallajökull in Iceland!

Contact Mrs. Munsell

The 2022-2023 school year marks my 20th year in the Waterloo school district.  I currently teach high school Mixed Choir, an  auditioned Concert Choir, an auditioned Men's Ensemble, Music Theory and Music Appreciation.  At WJHS,  I teach 3 curricular choruses, as well as the select Junior Concert Choir.  I received my music degree from Southeast Missouri State University and have continued to take master's level music classes throughout my time at Waterloo.  I have continued my personal musical growth by performing, attending clinics, classes and professional performances around the midwest.  I am also a member of the National Association for Music Educators and the Illinois Music Educators Association, where I have served as Co-Chair for the ILMEA Jr H Choir auditions and festivals.
 
I have been married to my husband, Mark for 30 years and have 2 grown children.  I also have an aging pitbull/basset hound, Indiana Bones who is the only Munsell with a criminal record (doggie jail).  In my spare time, I enjoy all things musical and historical, British and Irish humor, reading, baking, traveling to unusual places and spending time with my family. 


I have a particular interest in the music of different cultures and believe that it is a great vehicle to learn about people, cultures and time periods.  I hope that through the study of all music, my students will develop into global citizens with a greater knowledge and respect for all peoples.  I  believe that music changes moods, hearts and lives.  In fact, many studies show that students who are involved in music are more confident, have better grades, higher self-esteem, and better self-discipline.  When performing, music becomes a powerful instrument of change and I KNOW that it is an opportunity that all students, regardless of their age, should have!

I am looking forward to working with my students this year and am always available via email should you have any concerns or questions.
