About Ms. Kaye

 E-mail me
 
Allow me to introduce myself.  My name is Kelly Kaye and I am the director of choirs at North.  In addition to the choirs I also teach Creative Communication and Music Appreciation.

  
How I got to North 
I have been totally involved in music since I began piano lessons  when I was seven.   About that same time I also realized that I loved to sing and have been in choirs ever since.  I have a Bachelor of Music Performance and a Master of Music Performance from  Arizona State University.  After college I traveled to Vienna,  Austria which I loved so much that I spent two years there 
studying piano, performing and soaking up a wealth of fabulous 
music. 
After Vienna I found myself in Seattle, Washington working at a multitude of really cool jobs like the Seattle Opera Chorus, music theater, cabaret, vocal coaching, accompanying and private teaching.

In 1993 I moved back to Boise and went back to school for the  classes I needed to become certified as a public school teacher. 
In 1995 I started teaching at North….and here I am today!
 
My philosophy 
  • I love music.  I want to share my passion for music and experience with my students.
  • I expect excellence.  I believe that students want to be excellent.
  • I strive to create a positive classroom, positive experiences and positive attitudes.
 
My life outside North 
In the few hours a day when I’m not at school I try to do all the things that real people do, like grocery shopping and mowing my yard.  I also am assistant director for the Boise Master Chorale, and I sing with a madrigal group and  for special occasions.   At home I’m ‘Mom’ to my son Jesse, cat Nekko, and big poodle Sophie.
