Erin (Tippets) Hanson : Class of '01

Thank you for inspiring me! As a 9th-grader at VSAA, I saw the Skyview Band march in the Starlight Parade and I was hooked! I transferred the next year and my life was forever changed. I loved marching band, but I am especially grateful for the opportunity you allowed me to learn the bassoon, as well as your patience as I honked my way through the parts. Thank you for letting us wheel the steel drums over to Alki for our Senior Project. Teaching that after-school steel drum class was a springboard for my passion and drive to be a music educator.
I am deeply grateful for the encouragement and support you lent me as a teacher and as a colleague. I hope to continue to spread a love of music and instill a desire to achieve musical excellence in my students the way you did with us at Skyview. I wish you many happy days to come with teaching middle school students- they're my favorite!

Many Many Thanks,

Erin (Tippets) Hanson
