About the Teacher

Video Player

Video player keyboard control info.

I am excited to be teaching Music at HHES! Music has always been one of my first loves.  I received my B.F.A in Musical Theatre from East Carolina University in Greenville, NC.  I have enjoyed a diverse career singing, acting, and dancing on stage professionally as well as on a community level all over the U.S.; including New York, Massachusetts, Arizona, Florida, New Mexico, Ohio, and now Mississippi. Since moving to DeSoto County 14 years ago, I have had the privilege of performing with DeSoto Family Theatre and Kudzu Playhouse.  Additionally, I have directed numerous Allie nominated productions for Kudzu Playhouse as well as summer camp for DeSoto Family Theatre.

 My family and I, comprised of my husband Victor, Max age 19, Graham age 15, and Grey age 12, are Southerners by choice and have adopted Hernando as home. We love to travel the world and make every opportunity to chase adventure at home and abroad.

I know that your children and I will have a fantastic year learning to play the ukulele, experiencing different genres of music, and deepening their love of music.  Please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions, comments, concerns, or kudos. Together, I am confident that we will have a tremendous year!

 

All my best,

Alayna Weiss

We are so excited to be able to present the 2nd grade musical and are hopeful amidst COVID concerns and protocol that we will be able to share a traditional performance. However, please be advised that there are alternate plans in place including a performance with limited guests or a live-stream performance.  Throughout the rehearsal process, we will maintain COVID safety guidelines to keep students as healthy and safe as possible.

 

Audition Dates:  January 31-February 4 (Callbacks as necessary)            

Students will audition privately during their scheduled music class time.  Students who do not wish to audition for a featured role will automatically be cast with their classmates in our ensemble as wolves, monkeys, elephants, bees, or jungle flora & fauna. Everyone gets to participate! Please note that students will be combined with those from other classes during after-school rehearsals and the performance process. Parents may opt out of the performance if they have concerns.  Students’ semester grade is based on their in-class participation.  Notification of non-participation can be selected on the yellow Audition Selection form that will be sent home January 11th and due Friday, January 21st. Students will NOT be able to opt back in if they opt out.
