Hello Mustangs! My name is Audrey Kruse, and I am so excited to be your music teacher this year! 

I am an alum from Jefferson City High School where I played flute and piccolo in the Jefferson City High School Jay Marching Band and Concert Band. Being involved in this program truly sparked a love for music and I knew I wanted to have a profound impact on students through music education. After I graduated from high school, I earned my Bachelors degree in Instrumental Music Education from the University of Central Missouri in Warrensburg, Mo in 2019. The last four years, I have taught 6-12 marching and concert band, bucket drumming, percussion ensemble, and music appreciation. This past year I also had the opportunity to teach Family and Consumer Sciences! My passion for music and teaching my students are truly such a gift. I am looking forward to getting to know you and learning and growing together through the gift of music!

Some of my favorite things include the Kansas City Chiefs, coffee, dogs, the beach, Friends tv show, golfing, New York City, and Christmas!
