Mrs. Tabbot was my choir teacher for three years. She teaches at Rockford High School. Mrs. Tabbot has been teaching at Rockford for 13 years. I met her when I came to Rockford in 1990, to start 8th grade. At that time choir was a required class. I really didn’t like it at first because I was the rebellious type and didn’t get into old fashioned, “old style” music. I was more into Megadeth, a heavy metal band, or at times considered rock. HA! HA! As the year went on, I grew to like the music as Mrs. Tabbot introduced it to me. All kinds of music. From Pop- to- Jazz- to- Opera- to- classical. I enjoy singing, and that had something to do with it. Mrs. Tabbot showed me the meaning behind the different styles. What I got out of it was the way I felt singing after understanding the different styles. I felt awesome, after choir I felt good from the inside out. I’m sure all of her students have benefited from the knowledge she’s shared.
THANK YOU MRS. TABBOT!
