Who's Who at the Academy

Kari Koch

Music Teacher

K4 through 8th Grades

I am the Kindergarten-8th grade music teacher at the Academy and have been teaching for 8 years in total! I obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music Education from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Currently I am working on my Master's Degree in Music History also at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. My interests include skateboarding, bmx biking, cooking, all things Star Wars, and playing my many instruments. (Violin, Viola, Piano, Guitar, and Clarinet) It is with pride that I am a lead Soprano in the Milwaukee area Cantare Choral (an adult semi-professional choral ensemble). In my spare time I love to sew and build dollhouses. On the weekends I work with my family on our Christmas Tree Farm in Wautoma, Wisconsin. This has been a family business for over 20 years. My favorite family member happens to be my cat, Darth Vader!
