Mrs. LeSaicherre
Welcome to Music!
About Me!
My name is Ellen LeSaicherre and this is my 14th year teaching elementary music. I am an Atlanta native and grew up in Peachtree Corners. I attended Louisiana State University for my bachelors degree in music education and Kent State University for my masters degree in music. While at LSU I played the bassoon as my primary instrument and also played saxophone in the Tiger Marching Band. Geaux Tigers! After college I taught for six years in Louisiana before I moved back to Atlanta, where I taught in Gwinnett County Schools as well as in Alpharetta before coming to HFE in 2020. I live in Peachtree Corners with my husband, daughter, and two dogs. I can't wait to sing, say, dance, play, and create in music class this year!
Musically Yours,
Mrs. LeSaicherre
