My name is Ana M. Leyva and I am a recent alumna
from Minnesota State University, Mankato where I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Music Education (Vocal/General, K-12) on May of 2020. I am originally from Calexico, California - a border town approximately two hours away from San Diego, California - where I lived with my family until 2014. Currently, I reside in South St Paul, Minnesota where my family and I have been living for the past three years.
Mission Statement
As a music educator, I strive to teach my students that learning is a never ending process, that there is no age limit for learning, and that it is never to late to begin. It is my goal to make music accessible for everyone, regardless of their previous knowledge and/or income level. I hope students find safety and comfort in my classroom and that my instruction motivates them to step outside of their comfort zone and try new things.
