Robyn Barry ~ Elementary School
This is my 13th year teaching music in Wilmington. I teach 4th and 5th grade general music and chorus at the North Intermediate School and Kindergarten music at the Boutwell. I got my Bachelor’s in Arts in Music Performance at the University of Kansas and then I graduated from UMass Lowell with my Masters in Music Education. My main instrument is my voice but I also play piano, guitar, ukulele and recorder. One interesting thing about me that you would never guess is that I was classically trained to sing operatically during my time at the University of Kansas. I also played trumpet back when I was in 4th and 5th grade!

Roxanne Marion ~ Elementary School
Hello, my name is Mrs. Marion. I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Music Education from Rhode Island College and a Master of Arts in Teaching degree in General Music from Bridgewater State College. This is my 17th year teaching music to students in Grades 1-3 at the Shawsheen Elementary School. We are engaged in a variety of musical learning activities during our weekly classes: we move, sing, dance, and play in a tuneful, beatful, artful way. My favorite instrument to teach is the soprano recorder, mainly because I was a flute major, myself.
