From the Teacher of the Year
My name is Toni Finch and I teach Music at McCarthy-Teszler School. I am a Music Education graduate of Newberry College with certification in levels K-12. Previously, I taught in District 6 on the junior high and middle school levels. Having finished my 11th year at McCarthy-Teszler, I was honored to be selected as Teacher of the Year.
A general goal for all my students is to enlarge their capacity to enjoy music, and ultimately gain a positive concept of themselves. In addition, focus is placed on reinforcement of academic, motor, communication and social/emotional skills, through participation in musical activities. Music is truly a universal language and a great tool to motivate, excite, and encourage learning and developmental growth. Experience has taught me that educational achievements are the results of great expectations. Toni R Finch
