Mr. Hernalsteen
Position: Music Teacher
Classroom #: 26
E-mail: uriah.hernalsteen@washk12.org
Getting to Know Me: Music has been a central part of my life since I was in elementary school. After being involved in school choir for years I started learning guitar. Now I’ve been at it for over 12 years! I rock out on the guitar a lot, but I’ve also been able to learn and experiment with a variety of other instruments, some that your students will play this year, as well. Music has grown to be one of my biggest passions in life. I graduated from Dixie State University with an Elementary Education degree and received a teaching licence shortly after. I’m thrilled to be able to bring music to the elementary education experience!
