Mrs. Katy Gonzalez

 

I am excited about starting my 9th year as the Director of Orchestras at Karen Wagner High School. I look forward to seeing returning students, as well as meeting new students. 

I have been playing viola and violin since 4th grade, and graduated from the University of Illinois with a Bachelors in Music Education in 2004. I began teaching Orchestra in 2005 at Rawlinson MS in Northside ISD, and then taught private lessons from 2007-2014. I also played viola professionally with a semi-professional orchestra, Symphony of the Hills, in Kerrville, Texas. I was fortunate to be hired as the Director of Orchestras at Wagner HS in 2014. I have a three-year-old son with my husband (a band director) and three cats named after characters from the show Parks and Recreation.

 

Passion and hard work pay off!
