Welcome to the WWES Music Page!  Meet our music teacher Mrs. Long !

This is my seventh year sharing my love of music with the students at Wildwood Elementary School. I am a Citrus County native and I grew up loving my music classes, starting as early as Kindergarten in elementary school.  My music talent comes from many years of singing in church when I was a child and teen and in choirs. I was trained in music theory and piano when I was young, continued up through my high school years, and it was my talent at the Miss Teen Citrus County Pageant for two years. I played the oboe and clarinet starting in the fourth grade, and continued to become drum major of Citrus High School when I was a junior. I also played the keyboard as a member of Citrus High School's music group "Breeze", which is still traveling and performing today. 

I have been with Sumter County Schools, North Sumter Primary, and Wildwood Elementary School for 20 years as previously a Third grade teacher and, more recently, a First grade teacher. I am glad to be back in music and having fun with the students every day while we learn.
