My name is Miss Darci Van Vlerah and I am the new part-time music teacher this year for grades 2^nd and 3^rd, and the 6^th grade choir director. I also help with other middle school music.

I received my Bachelor’s degree from Ohio Northern University in music education in 2004 and recently received my Master’s degree from Westminster Choir College in Princeton, New Jersey in vocal performance and pedagogy.

This fall I will be singing in the chorus of Carmen for the Toledo Opera Company. I enjoy reading, tennis and being with my friends and family. Van Buren is a great school and I feel privileged to be able to teach here.
