About Mrs. Keane


My Mission  
My mission is for my students to have fun!  I want my students to become consumers of music and to gain some basic knowledge of musical skills. 

Background
I grew up in West Monroe, Louisiana and graduated from West Monroe High School.   My musical career started in the sixth grade, when I borrowed a flute from a cousin, and joined the beginning band program.  I graduated from Northeast Louisiana University in 1988 and married my husband John that same year.  At the beginning of my teaching career, I was a band director and team taught with with John for 12 years before returning home to Louisiana.  Since that time, I have taught every grade level from pre-k to the college level and have loved it all. 

Outside of work, I teach and play folk music with my husband John all over the United States.  We perform together and teach folk music workshops on the mountain dulcimer, ukulele, Native American flute, and the Irish penny whistle.  I am also an avid Dallas Cowboys fan and enjoy watching the games during football season.

Forest Hill Choir



Thank you so much for your interest in the Forest Hill choir program.  Placement in our choir is for the entire year and is free to all students.  There are no after school rehearsals.   All practices will take place during the school day.  In addition to singing, students will perform on instruments, dance, or recite speaking parts appropriate for each grade level.  The requirements for all students are as follows:
​
1.  Attend all performances for your grade level.  (Some will be at night)
2.  Maintain at least a C average in all of your school work.
3.  Demonstrate excellent behavior in the classroom.
4.  Complete the permission form and return to your child's homeroom teacher.

​Registration for Choir Sign up is now closed!

Congratulations to the 2019-2020 Forest Hill Choir Members!
