My name is Stephanie LaMantia and I'm from Cary, Illinois. I enjoy hanging out with my friends, being with my family, dancing, running, listening to music, and just doing anything that makes me happy. I love the Caribbean and have been there six times in my life. I'm a huge animal lover and have a shitzu named Frasier and a lion head bunny named William.
Music has always been a huge part of my life. I have been playing the trumpet for ten years and have been teaching myself how to play the piano. I was in band for eight years and in jazz band for six years. I have performed in two high school musicals and have taught children how to play the trumpet for three summers. I even had the honor of playing Taps on Memorial Day for the towns of Cary and Fox River Grove. When I was in junior high and high school, I participated in cheerleading, color guard, and poms. We always needed music to perform to at the football and basketball games. I listen to music constantly and my favorite band is Aerosmith. I really do listen to every type of music except I'm not a huge fan of rap. My ipod has 558 songs and I usually listen to it once a day when I'm at the rec center. Otherwise, I play music through my computer or in my car.
I have really enjoyed the first week of class and think it will benefit me when I have to teach young children. We have already learned some new ideas on how to incorporate music into our classrooms. Music is important for students to learn and to be put into the school curriculum because it helps them academically and have an appreciation for music.
