Anne Buckwalter

Musicianship Teaching Artist

Mary Ann Winterling Elementary School

When Anne isn’t encouraging her many elementary age students to let their inner musical artists shine, she is expressing herself through her own clarinet, piano, voice, and ukulele music making. A graduate of Goshen College (Indiana), she has toured across the United States in various ensembles and has performed with the likes of Bobby McFerrin and Conspirare. Anne is vocally trained in classical and musical theatre, and instrumentally trained in classical (piano and clarinet). Prior to working with OrchKids, Anne was a K-6 elementary music teacher for 2 years where she fell in love with child development and culturally responsive pedagogy. Anne is currently pursuing a Master of Music in Music Education in hopes to further inspire her students in their individual musical journeys as well as help uplift and support their unique voices. In addition to her musical pursuits, Anne is an avid coffee drinker and enjoys hiking, rock climbing, doing yoga, hanging out with friends, and eating vegan soul food.
