Welcome To Music!
For those of you who don't know me, my name is Jennele Coulson. I have the pleasure to teach music to you amazingly talented students! It has been so great to come back this year. Some of you know that I took last year off for the birth of my daughter Alice. I also have a beautiful son called William.
