I am originally from Houston, TX and I graduated from SMU in Dallas, TX in 2020. I knew I wanted to be a teacher from the first time I heard the words "Oh! I get it now!" after leading my friends to success in our high school pre-calculus class. Music is my vehicle for self-expression, connecting with others, and making a difference in the world. I am so excited to share my love of orchestra with my students and their families! Email me any time at madison.pruden@pisd.edu! This is now my second year of teaching orchestra, and my first year in Plano ISD. I have two beautiful kitties, I grew up in Houston, TX, and my first instrument is violin! I love playing and singing music, practicing yoga, and skateboarding!

 My Why: I believe all students deserve a music education that invites them to embody an art-form that is as musically rewarding as it is personal and exciting.
