Elizabeth A. Crane

I am thrilled to be back at Creek View this year! I studied music at the Crane School of Music and have a Bachelor of Music from Potsdam College in New York. I taught for 7 years in Charlotte, NC and then attended Appalachian State University where I got my Masters Degree in Music Education with a concentration in General Music. I have taught in Fulton County Schools for the last 16 years and this is my seventh year at CVES. I live with my husband and my daughter who attends WBMS.

Karen Bower

My name is Karen Bower and I’m excited to be back in the classroom full time this year.  I am teaching at Creek View, Findley Oaks and State Bridge Crossing Elementary. I began my teaching career at Elementary schools in Florida.  After moving to Georgia I spent several years as a stay at home Mom, but never ventured too far away from music education. I worked part time teaching Kindermusik and pre-school music and also taught for four years, full time, at a local private school. I also taught middle and high school private lessons for young oboists in Forsyth County.
My education includes a Bachelor of Music from Florida State University and Master of Music at Rice University, both in oboe performance. I quickly knew teaching was my calling and went back to school to gain a teaching certificate and I am so happy that I did! I am so privileged to have a job that combines my love for music with my love for children.  I have two teenage boys and a big dog named Shaq who keep me busy after school hours.
