Mattie graduated with a degree from Texas A&M University in Elementary Education with an emphasis in Special Education and a minor in music (Piano and vocal). Being raise in a home where music ed was emphasized, helped pave the way for Mattie’s musical background and educational interests. A lot of Mattie’s time growing up was spent playing piano, singing in a family ensemble and performing at various churches, civic clubs, and other venues. Because she was able to attend music trainings and music schools early on in life it made it possible for Mattie to begin teaching piano and voice as a teenager. Recently Mattie has retired from a career of teaching in public and private schools, a total of 33 years! No matter what subject or grade level taught music was always included in her classroom.
