Teacher Feature: Mrs. Bobzin

By: Shannon Chu and Emily Flanagan

Ms. Bobzin is a new chorus teacher this year at Wood Hill. She grew up in South Jersey in the cornfields. She is an Alto that sings Frauenliebe und Leben, a song cycle by Schumann. She wants the chorus to make powerful music. As a kid she played softball, did Girl Scouts and liked to run around and enjoyed playing with bugs.

She sang in chorus as a kid and loved it so much she wanted to continue her passion her entire life. After school she likes to folk dance. If she was not a chorus teacher, she would want to sing in choirs and dance all over the country. Her favorite part of her job is when a group gets a hard song and everyone gets super excited. When she was in school her favorite subjects were choir (because she loves to sing) and Latin. Her favorite animals are cats and chickadees, likewise she has one cat for a pet. Her favorite part of teaching middle school chorus is being able to explore the meaning of the world and sense of self through the power of song.
