Bio

Welcome!

 

I am Ms. Gomez! I am the general music teacher for grades 3 through 8. I graduated from Montclair State University with a degree in Music Education with a Classical Voice concentration. I have recently attained my Masters in Music Education. As a teacher and a lifelong lover of music, I cannot wait to help the students at Robert Fulton flourish in a musical, emotional, social, and intellectual way.

As a singer-songwriter, I bring my passion for writing songs about love, life, and its deeper meaning into the classroom, encouraging students to express themselves creatively. Beyond music, my classroom thrives on connection—I’m committed to building strong relationships with my students, while also fostering bonds between them through engaging music games and collaborative activities. Together, we create an environment where music becomes not just a subject, but a tool for personal growth, expression, and unity.
 

I will cultivate a safe, nurturing, and engaging classroom environment in which students think critically and creatively through music analysis, composition, and performance. While growing their musical abilities, students will develop the abilities to cooperate with others, to reflect upon their lives in relation to the world, to set and commit to goals, and to contribute to the world through creative expression.Please feel free to contact me through my email: mgomez@northbergen.k12.nj.us
