About the Boltz Orchestra Program:
Boltz Orchestra Director: Melissa Claeys
Hi Everyone!!! I am so honored to be the Boltz Orchestra Director!!! I have taught Orchestra at all 3 levels, Elementary, Middle School and High School and being a Phoenix has been a highlight in my teaching journey so far. I look forward to working with all of my students whether you are just starting or if you have been in the program for a number of years. Being a music teacher is not just a job for me but rather a huge part of WHO I am. I cannot wait to make music with you all-- it is a GIFT that should be cherished and shared with those around us. Welcome to the Boltz Orchestra Program!
