Risa McDonell, Music Teacher

I'm proud to be the Music Teacher at Rockheights Middle School. For 15 years, I taught band, jazz band and choir in North Vancouver secondary schools and played flute for the West Coast Symphony Orchestra. During my time in North Vancouver, I was very lucky to conduct three major musical theatre productions, to start a Canadian-Japanese sister school exchange program, and to take my bands to New York, Chicago, San Diego, Tokyo, Musicfest Canada Nationals, and The Canadian Rocky Mountain Music Festival in Banff. Two years ago, I moved home to Victoria to raise my daughter near my family. It's been a blast to make musical memories at Rockheights, and I'm looking forward to more!
