"Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life."

Berthold Auerbach

Kim Aberle is beginning her first year at St. Francis,  teaching music to children grades JK through 3.    Kim is pleased to join such an enthusiastic group of committed teachers and is excited at the idea of teaching such bright-eyed  and curious children.  Kim is a seasoned music teacher with over 15 years of experience in the music classroom, most recently having taught at Pine Crest Preparatory School in Florida. While in Florida Kim took advantage of the abundant Orff-Schulwerk chapters and immersed herself in "everything Orff".  After returning to Louisville, (Kim is a native Hoosier) she took a 4 year hiatus from teaching and founded My Little Maestro, where she taught music to mothers and their young children.  In doing so, this afforded Kim the opportunity to stay at home with her small children.

Kim holds a bachelors of Science in music education from Indiana State University and a Masters in Secondary Education from Indiana University.  Kim has had works published in music resource magazines and served on several school and  professional organization committees, including serving as President and Past President of the South-Florida Orff Chapter. 

Kim is married and  has two sons, both attending St. Francis School.  Geoffrey is in the first grade on the Goshen Campus and Harrison attends the pre-school program on the Wolf Pen Branch campus.
