| About your teacher...Elizabeth
Stanley, Spanish Instructor, Parker Co.
I have a Bachelor of Arts, vocal music performance and a minor in French
from the University of Colorado. I went on to perform in operas
including the lead in Susannah by Carlyle Floyd. I then taught English
as a Second Language and beginning French at Berlitz in Denver for
almost 3 years, using the Berlitz Method. I was fortunate as an employee
to receive Spanish lessons when I wished. I have travelled extensively
throughout the world. I have found, even though there's a soft place in
my heart for the French language, I use my Spanish almost daily in
America. I also have a sister-in-law from Spain, and several nieces
whose family is from Mexico.
I strongly believe in the importance of music and languages in today's
society and the earlier children are exposed, the sooner their
appreciation of others will blossom. The more a child learns to
appreciate others, the easier it is for them to build strong bridges of
kindness and love.
I also affirm the benefits that come from studying music, (i.e.:
language acquisition, reason, spatial relations, abstract problem
solving, empathy through team work, detail orientation, work equals
results - to name a few. The concept of music and language brought
together through the Music Lingua program is truly awesome!
