Miss Estella Melendez, Music Teacher
G'day Gator friends! I'm Estella Melendez and am very excited to be part of the Anderson family! I grew up in this very district and have the honor of giving back to the program that gave so much to me during my years as a student. I have performed at international music clinics located in Chicago, Seattle, and Indianapolis before graduating at Spring HS. I later studied abroad in Germany and Austria before getting a Bachelor's in Music Performance with an emphasis in Percussion Studies at Pepperdine University. I then began my journey as a percussion educator at Spring HS, Twin Creeks MS, and Bailey MS. I am ecstatic to continue music with my Gator friends! Outside of school, I enjoy roller skating, collecting vinyls, botany, comics, and playing on my Nintendo Switch!
With much love,
Miss Melendez
¡Buen día queridos Gators! ¡Soy Estella Melendez y estoy muy emocionada de ser parte de la familia Anderson! Crecí en este mismo distrito y tengo el honor de retribuir al programa que me dio tanto durante mis años como estudiante. Me he presentado en clínicas internacionales de música ubicadas en Chicago, Seattle e Indianápolis antes de graduarme en Spring HS. Más tarde estudié en el extranjero en Alemania y Austria antes de obtener una licenciatura en Música con énfasis en Estudios de Percusión en la Universidad de Pepperdine. Luego comencé mi viaje como educador de percusión en Spring HS, Twin Creeks MS y Bailey MS. ¡Estoy extasiada de continuar la música con mis amigos Gator! Fuera de la escuela, disfruto patinar, coleccionar vinilos, botánica, cómics y jugar en mi Nintendo Switch.
Con mucho cariño,
Srta. Melendez
