About Ms. Mendes
Ms. Mendes teaches General Music (grades K-5) and Chorus (grades 4 & 5) at Church Street School.
She loves traveling, learning about different cultures and languages, and is a big foodie!
Ms. Mendes also has three adorable, sweet cats: Master Shake, Luna, and Nuka.
Of course, Ms. Mendes absolutely loves music. She is a trained soprano, which means she can sing some really high notes! She sings in the Westchester Women's Chorus, dabbles on the piano,
and is also teaching herself how to play the ukulele and guitar.
Growing up in New Rochelle, NY, Ms. Mendes was inspired to become a music teacher by her own music teachers. She moved on to college (Manhattanville College) and graduate school (New York University), where she earned two degrees in music education.
Just as her teachers did, Ms. Mendes wants to inspire her students by allowing them to explore their own creativity in music. Her heritage (Portuguese) also plays a big role in her life, so Ms. Mendes always welcomes and encourages her students to share as much as they can about their own heritage, as well!
Ms. Mendes is very proud to be a part of the Church Street Community and absolutely loves her music students. She looks forward to making more and more awesome musical memories with them !!
Be kind. Be Safe. Be responsible.
