Welcome, Orcas! My name is Beth Riggs and I’m proud to be the music teacher here at x̌alilc Elementary School. I’ve been a music teacher since 1999 and have performed in choirs and instrumental ensembles since I was in elementary school myself! You can generally find me singing with the Bainbridge Chorale.

My family and I have lived here on Bainbridge Island since 2007. I have two kids of my own, both of whom are musicians (along with their other interests). They also went to x̌alilc! We have fun together with board games and video games, spending time outside, goofing around in the garden, and playing with our various pets. The animal members of our family have included cats, dogs, and a bearded dragon.

I’m looking forward to singing, playing, moving, learning, performing, and having fun with you this year!
