Anna Burnett
Music Teacher
Siegrist Elementary
My name is Anna Burnett and I am excited to be the music teacher at Siegrist! This is my fourth year at Platte County but I have over 20 years experience as a music educator. I have worked with various age groups and in a variety of settings.
In my class students will be exposed to many types of music including music from different cultures as well as a variety of recognized composers. Students will learn age appropriate concepts about the fundamentals of music including: melody, form, harmony, tone color, and dynamics. We will explore music through several avenues such as singing, playing instruments, movement, listening and performing. I believe that music is an important part of a child's education! Music helps build community within a school. It helps build confidence in individuals. Some studies have shown that music even makes you smarter! AND its just plain FUN! My goal is to help students find a life long enjoyment and appreciation of music whether it be as a performer or part of the audience! I look forward to working with the students at Siegrist and getting to know the parents as well. Please feel free to contact me at 816-858-5977 ext. 1414.
