Ms. Maria Valencia
About: I am so excited to be joining Washington as your new Orchestra teacher! For over 10 years, I’ve had the joy of teaching and sharing my love of music with students. Outside the classroom, I enjoy spending time outdoors - whether it's camping, paddle boarding, or simply enjoying the fresh air, the earth, and the daytime. I love animals and I love particularly being around chickens, doggies, goats, a donkey, …you name it! A good cup of black tea with a tag of half and half and brown sugar is one of my favorite simple pleasures. It’s how I like to start the day and unwind with a bit of quiet time. I value spending quality time with my friends and family, and creating new memories together, as well as meeting new people and connecting with others. I’m looking forward to a wonderful school year, to great times, and to making music together!
