Ms. Dameron (Music)
Beth Dameron
3rd-8th Music Teacher
EMAIL
Beth Dameron has been a music educator for more than 20 years, with the majority of her career at Woodside Elementary School. Beth has both a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Music Education from San Jose State University with an emphasis in percussion. In addition to her undergraduate
and graduate degrees, she is a National Board Certified
teacher in Early/Middle Music Education.
Though her academic focus was music education, her love of percussion led her to study non-Western music and ethnomusicology, and appreciate both musical and sociological aspects of traditions like taiko drumming, African drumming, and especially Balinese gamelan. Her interest in psychology and music therapy continues to influence her teaching practices and helped her to have a simple but intentional philosophy of music education: Community needs music and music needs community.
More recently, Beth has been drawn to practices like yoga, meditation, and mindfulness and completed the San Francisco based program Breathe for Change, which focuses on ways to bring these practices into the classroom for the benefit of both teachers and students. When Beth is not engaging with music, teaching, and mindfulness practices, she enjoys swimming, reading, baking and cooking, hiking and immersing herself in nature, traveling, and sharing all of her interests with her two daughters.
