New Music Teacher Dives Right Into Community

Alyssa Kramer, the new music teacher, did not hesitate before diving right into the community. She participated in the recent Art in the Park Celebration, where she accompanied the Concert Choir and Joyful Noise members with her violin. Former music teacher Jim Spiers said that the school would be fortunate to have someone with the talent to play the violin as he did not always have that during his time at Worth County. She is originally from Lee’s Summit, where she started giving private lessons to people and discovered that it was even more fun to see other people succeed. She attended Northwest Missouri State, where she majored in Vocal and Instrumental Music. She said her favorite teacher was her high school orchestra teacher, Jamie Mitchell, who is always willing to help former students. She said that she learned how to prioritize and how to have fun at Northwest.

She has family ties to the area; she is related to Ivalee Johnson of Sheridan as well as the Potts family in Hopkins.
