Ms. Burch, a native of Rochester, New York, will be moving to Cincinnati this summer to offer a high-quality classical musical education at Cincy Classical. Ms. Burch’s music career began at birth when she realized how much she loved to sing, and her passion for music grew when she began learning the clarinet, which eventually became her primary instrument in college. Ms. Burch has taught in several public schools throughout greater Rochester. When she is not teaching, she plays clarinet with Hochstein Alumni Orchestra, the University of Rochester’s Music Educators’ Wind Symphony, and the Wind Symphony at Nazareth College. She also enjoys contra dancing and spending quality time with family and friends. “I believe that teaching children to be great citizens is worth a great deal to our nation,” she says!
