Ms. Dorothy Gray

Music Teacher

I received my bachelor’s degree from the University of North Texas. I started teaching in 2004 and, I have been teaching music in Fort Worth ISD since 2006. Since I started in FWISD, I have had extra training in both the Kodaly and Orff methods. I utilize both approaches in my classroom and, I set high expectations for my students. Since I utilize Kodaly and Orff, students graduating from my music program will be ready for any music program they desire.

My name is Jannett Maldonado. I was born and raised in Dallas, Texas but moved to Fort Worth three years ago when I met my husband. I graduated from Sam Houston University with a bachelors in Animal Science and a minor in Spanish. During my free time I enjoy coloring and watching movies.
