Diane Stedman Conrad

Teacher - Music

Hello!

My name is Mrs Stedman and I have been teaching General Music (grades K-4) and Band (grades 5-8) in St George since 2009. I graduated from Millikin University with a Bachelors in Music Education in 1996, and from DePaul University with a Masters in Music Education in 2000. I have been teaching since 1996, and in my teaching career I have taught all types of music at all grade levels. In addition to my work at St George, I am an Adjunct Professor of Music at Olivet Nazarene University and Adjunct Faculty at Governors State University. I also perform locally with the River Valley Wind Ensemble and the Kankakee Municipal Band.

Music is connected to many areas of education including: language development, literacy, science, math, social studies, and social emotional learning. Sharing my love of music is my favorite part of being a music teacher and seeing excitement and enthusiasm on my students' faces is the best part of my day!
