Soundview students call me Mrs. or Ms. Higgins, and I have been at the school since 2008. I did my undergraduate work at Northern Arizona University in Music Education, and my graduate work at California State University Long Beach in clarinet performance and instrumental conducting, as well as thirty-plus years of experience as a classroom and studio teacher. I am energized by teaching because of the profession's creative challenges, and because every day can still bring something new, even after decades. Outside of school, I am inspired by the music and content of the Korean band BTS, and study the life and work of "Alice" author Lewis Carroll.
