From Abha Dearing: “Misty is bright, spirited, open and passionate about kids and music. Besides being tremendously talented herself as a singer, flautist and on several other instruments, Misty has vast experiences teaching kids all over the US in highly competitive realms.  Misty also composes and produces music and is well-versed in the ever- evolving music technology field. She is caring, warm and infuses her natural humor and joy in the classroom. We are so thrilled to have Misty join our Performing Arts Department.”

Misty's Responses:

I will be the new music teacher for Lower School. 

I was nominated for the Grammy Music Educator Award for 5 consecutive years. In 2019, I traveled to Israel with a few of my colleagues and my sister for professional development. 

I would love to take a year around the world cruise on an Oceanian Cruise Ship to explore 144 destinations and 22 countries because I enjoy traveling, learning about various cultures, and meeting new people. 

I was born and raised in Detroit where I attended all Detroit Public Schools along with my 3 sisters and 2 brothers. 

I enjoy traveling, spending time outdoors, and sharing special moments with friends and family. 

I would love to teach music production and technology because music technology has changed how music is created and in the professional world of music producing has become a must know knowledge. 

I believe everybody is gifted in their own way and when I learned The Roeper School provides gifted education to gifted students, I knew I could contribute greatly by providing support in a mission to educating and understanding the gifted child.
