Brief Introduction
Welcome to the World of Music! My name is Linda Hoffmann. I started teaching Elementary Music in Irving in 1996, upon graduating from the University of Texas at Arlington. I've taught at many schools, such as Barton, Davis, Lively, Good, and Townley. I am currently the music teacher at Stipes Elementary. I teach general music to students in grades K-5, as well as piano lab for grades 2-5 before and after school. In addition to my regular task at Stipes, I am the Director for the Irving Children's Chorus, the select choir for the district.
Irving Children's ChorusIrving Children's Chorus is the Irving District select choir. It was at one time the Irving Boys' Choir and the Irving Girls' Choir. The two choirs combined in 2004, under the direction of John Waynman. Linda Hoffmann took over the direction of the Irving Children's Chorus in 2006. Students in grades 3 through 5 audition at the beginning of the year at Stipes Elementary. New students may audition in January for the Spring session. Parents may contact their child's music teacher for information regarding auditions, or contact Linda Hoffmann via email. There is a $50 fee to cover the cost of uniforms, bus rentals, t-shirts, etc.
The Irving Children's Chorus performs several concerts throughout the year. The choir also performs two school tours, one in the winter and one in the spring, to encourage other students to join the select choir. An optional summer trip is offered for families interested in traveling with the Irving Children's Chorus. This trip is paid for by the families, however, fundraising is available. Past trips include San Antonio, Branson, and Washington D.C.
