About Ms. Benson

Hi, I'm Ms. Olivia Benson! I am a fifth-year teacher and I'm thrilled to be returning as Peter Muschal's General Music Teacher.

 

I began singing in choirs at the age of eight, and I continue to do so to this day! I sing in a choir based out of Princeton, New Jersey. We're called the Glassbrook Vocal Ensemble. Check us out, we're pretty cool.

 

Aside from singing, I play the ukulele and the piano. I also have experience playing the clarinet. Fun fact: I was in the marching band at Gettysburg College, my alma mater (Class of 2019)! It was so much fun. If I could master any instrument today, it would be the cello. I love its rich sound. If you could wake up with the ability to play any instrument perfectly, which instrument would you choose?

 

Here are my favorites:

Color: Green

Food: Pasta

Seasons: Fall and Winter

Hobbies: Spending time with my friends and family, reading, writing, hiking, and snuggling/playing with my cat, Milo!

Singer: Sara Bareilles

Animal: Capybara

Sport: Hockey (Go New Jersey Devils!)

Store: Target

Place: Cape Cod, MA

 

I can be best reached via email at [email protected]. I'm looking forward to a great year of music-making!
