MS. FEIGE
Email: afeige@monfortonschool.org
My name is Andrea Feige (pronounced “Fie-Jee”) and I am the elementary music teacher at Monforton School!
I grew up and attended college in Sioux Falls, SD (lovingly known as the “Upper Great Plains”) on the eastern side of South Dakota. I started playing trombone in 5th grade, piano in 6th grade, violin in 8th grade and mandolin in 9th grade. While in high school and college I played in concert bands, marching bands (high school only), pep bands, jazz bands, and chamber ensembles (like trombone choir). I love music and adore being able to share that love with students. I believe that music is more than just the stuff you hear on the radio or in the concert hall. I also believe that exploring other genres and ethnicities of music is a great way to travel the world while staying in Montana!
When I’m not teaching, there are a number of other things I could be doing: hiking, climbing, fly fishing, biking, cooking, baking, reading, traveling, camping, knitting, backpacking and generally enjoying life.
