Meet Ms. Hermanson!
Ms. Hermanson is a native of Arizona. Growing up she attended Scottsdale Unified School District where she was involved in both band and choir. Ms. Hermanson is a graduate of Northern Arizona University with a degree in Instrumental Music Education. Her primary instrument is the Euphonium (it looks like a small tuba and is very similar to a baritone), but has played euphonium, trombone, and tuba in various performing ensembles at NAU.
Throughout her education she has been very lucky to have many musical opportunities. She has traveled to Europe on two separate occasions with different performing ensembles; the first time with the Phoenix Children’s Chorus and the second time with the NAU Wind Symphony. She has also had the opportunity to go to China, where she learned about their culture and music. Through her education at NAU, she had the opportunity to teach band and choir in the local school district and has taught marching band at several camps throughout Arizona.
Ms. Hermanson has been in the Deer Valley Unified School District for the past 4 years. Ms. Hermanson has taught band at Mountain Shadows and band, choir, and general music at Bellair Elementary.
Currently, Ms. Hermanson is the Band, Choir, and General Music teacher at Deer Valley Middle School and is the Assistant Marching Band Director at Barry Goldwater High School. Ms. Hermanson is a member of the Tempe Symphonic Wind Ensemble playing Euphonium. She is also a member of the Phoenix College Community Choir.
Outside of school and music, Ms. Hermanson enjoys traveling, going to the movies, and reading a good book. She feels it is important to enjoy the little things in life and make sure you are always having fun with what you are doing!
