Hey Steck Stars! My name is Samantha Terry Southwell (you can call me Mrs. Southwell) and I teach music classes in our beautiful auditorium. This will be my 12th year teaching, 10th in DPS, and 3rd year at Steck. I grew up in Colorado and studied Music Education and Music Performance at Metro State University of Denver. I love hiking, running, video games, gardening, and finding new adventures with my partner Ian and our son Nathan. We also have two cats named Sushi and Percy.
My musical background includes touring around anime and video game conventions, brass bands, marching bands, drum corps, rock bands, concerto competitions, symphony orchestras, wind ensembles, busking, percussion ensembles, cover bands, composing, and sound design. I love learning, listening, performing, and sharing music with others live, produced, and in the media we enjoy.
Fun fact: An instrument I want to learn more about currently is the synthesizer.
Looking forward to another fantastic year at Steck!
