Becca Bryan, Lower School Music Teacher

"My biggest desire in life is to communicate my love of music to the next generation. This relationship perpetuates joy."
 

What makes you excited to come to school every day?

I get to directly inspire creativity in a highly energetic field, music.
 

What life lesson do you want your students to learn in your classroom?

Beyond musicianship, I want my students to know that struggle and risk-taking are positive, life-giving experiences that lead to learning.
 

Tell us a fun or interesting fact about yourself!

Outside of school, Mr. Bryan (Upper School English and Sophomore Dean) and I love rocking out on our guitars in our home.
 

What is your favorite book and why?

My favorite book series is The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis.
 

If you could have dinner with three people, alive or not, who would they be?

If I chose three people to dine with, I would choose revolutionaries and poets or musicians and our passionate conversations would change the world: Beethoven, The Apostle Peter, and Joan of Arc.
