Meet Mrs. McFarland

Welcome to the new PCS Music website!  I am so excited for another great year!  My name is Katie McFarland and I will be your music teacher.  I graduated summa cum laude from the University of Maine with a Bachelor's degree in Music Education.  My main instrument is clarinet and I was principal clarinetist of the Symphonic Band my final year in college.

I live in South Paris with my husband, Duncan.  Both of us are music teachers which means we spend a lot of time making, teaching, and listening to music!

My favorite thing about being a music teacher is getting other people excited about music!  It is a fantastic lifelong endeavor and helps develop sensitivity, teamwork, self-discipline, and purpose in our lives.

My favorite thing about Poland Community School is how nice and supportive all the teachers and staff are.

Outside of music class I like to visit new places, bake, go to festivals and museums, surprise other people, tease kitties, and visit the ocean.

I have a feeling that it is going to be marvelous year with some awesome students!
