A little background on Mrs. Haselman -

This is my 21st year of teaching.  All of it has been at Bath teaching grades 5-12 vocal music and directing the high school musicals.  This was my first job right out of college.  I graduated from ONU in 2003 with a Bachelor or Music and I have a Master of Arts in Education from the University of Findlay.

One of my favorite things about teaching is that every day is different! Also, a big plus about teaching choir at Bath is that I can have the same students in my classes for 8 years. I am lucky to watch them grow up and get to know them as teh amazing young adults they become.

I am finishing my 22nd year of teaching at Bath. I have taught Bath Elementary Music for seventeen years. I also taught kindergarten for four years.

I received my Bachelor's Degree from Bluffton University. I earned my Master's Degree from Findlay University.

One of my favorite aspects of teaching Elementary Music is watching students grow musically from young children to accomplished musicians as they finish high school.
