Hello, Oakland orchestra families! 

 

I'm finishing up my 3rd year in the district, 3rd at Oakland and 2nd at Battle HS, as the string teacher and I could not be happier. Each year our program has grown and improved. My first year we only had 2 orchestra classes - now we have 4! I love working with my middle school orchestra kids, and hope that even after they stop playing their instrument, they still love music!

 

You might know my husband, Dustin Frieda, as another CPS music teacher. He was at Benton STEM for 2 years as music, but has been a general classroom teacher the last 3 years. We've been married for 7 years this summer, and have a sweet toddler, Delaney! We also have 2 dogs, Henry and Annie, and a cat named Szary.

 

Besides playing music, I love reading, watching movies, cooking, and spending time with my friends. I have too many favorite things to name, but you'll quickly learn I can't survive without coffee or chocolate!

 

Please never hesitate to contact me with questions, concerns, or just want to chat!
