Angela Corbin
Angela Corbin came to North Muskegon Schools in the Fall of 2010. A West Michigan native, she earned her Instrumental Music Education degree in 2002 in Ohio, student teaching Beginner Strings, MS and HS Orchestra in the Sandusky City Schools. She taught vocal and instrumental music in the Fruitport Community Schools at Beach Elementary and Calvary Christian School for eight years while maintaining a large private strings studio and building an after-school Strings Program at Calvary.
In 2010, she completed her Masters in Music Education from Michigan State University. She holds Music Learning Theory certifications in Instrumental Music and Elementary Certification Levels I and II. During her Graduate work, she studied violin with Minghuan Xu at Grand Valley State University. She has also studied violin with Helen Hayes and Jean Manning of Muskegon and Stacey Woolley of the Cincinnati Symphony.
As a high school student and Concert Master of the West Michigan Youth Symphony, a passion for violin playing (and teaching) was ignited when she began teaching a few young beginner violinists after school. A private and class string instructor for over fifteen years, teaching music through string instruction has been one of Angela's deepest passions. In the past, she has served on the boards of both the West Michigan Youth Symphony and the Education Committee of the West Michigan Symphony.
She is the Middle and High School Orchestra Director at North Muskegon where she also teaches elementary strings and vocal music. After school, she directs the West Michigan Symphony Debut Strings Beginner Youth Orchestra, performs in a professional string quartet (Lakeshore Strings, LLC) and the band Bettie Paige, and enjoys singing and violin playing with friends and family and recording with local country, folk, blues songwriters and artists. Angela lives in North Muskegon with her husband, Ryan, their two daughters, Maya and Sophia, and their golden-doodle Molly.
