My name is Lori Rhutasel. This is my 12th year teaching children at South's band department. I enjoy life with my husband and two children, ages 1 and 3. We enjoy spending time together whether it be camping, going for walks, or sharing laughs and hugs at home. I thoroughly enjoy teaching middle schoolers how to play an instrument, bringing students together as a group, watching students grow and mature through their three years at South, and seeing the enjoyment music brings to their lives.
Music provides such a personal, intimate and beautiful means of expressing thoughts and feelings.
Music communicates ideas better than words alone. I feel that this process should be a happy and exciting one. South is a great place to be, and I welcome you to our band department.
