Meet Mr. Barbour

Musical Greetings to All!

My name is Don Barbour.  I am a native of Norwalk, CT, now residing in 
Scarsdale, NY.  I like to bowl, mini-golf and love the shows 'American Idol' 
and 'Glee'.

I am proud to be a member of the faculty at Northeast Elementary for my 
fourth year!  Previously, I taught as a K-3 general music teacher for 10 
years at Black Rock Elementary  School in Thomaston, CT.  During the course 
of my tenure, I have also been the Center School's band director and started 
a string program as well.

I am excited to work with the students of Northeast Elementary! 

My Mission

My mission is to teach students the skills and beliefs necessary for a happy 
and thriving life.  I will serve as a role model as I demonstrate them 
myself.  I will tend to each student with the care and respect they deserve.  
Students will not only become crafted musicians, but also learn how to 
overcome obstacles, both academic and personal. They will learn about their 
capabilities in the process and meet the high-expectations I have for them.  
As a result, they will have the tools to achieve their goals in my classroom 
and in the future.
