Murphy Choir News
What You Do Matters!
Welcome to Murphy Choir!
I am so excited to lead your student's music education as they join the Plano East Cluster Choir program! Please scroll to the bottom of this page to get to know me, and visit my teacher page on the MMS website (linked in my biography). If you are new to Murphy, welcome!!, it is an awesome place. Shout-out to our returning students and families - thanks for trusting me to expand your choir life through new experiences this year!
Ms. Altman teaches Advanced Choir in the mornings (periods 1-3), Beginning Choir in the afternoons (periods 5 and 6), and two I&E courses at the end of the day (periods 7 and 8). Harmaniacs (the auditioned pop group for Advanced Choir members) rehearsals take place on Tuesday mornings and Thursday afternoons for the entire year.
The first day of school is a mixture of school-wide information from the MMS principals and counselors, as well as meeting your daily schedule of teachers!
I can't wait to welcome you into the Murphy Choir room with a big smile and a first day of singing (since that's what we do!)!
Much Love,
Ms. Altman, Choir Mama Extraordinaire

Murphy Choir Mama
Ms. Melanie Altman
Aside from teaching choir and laughing with her students every day, Ms. Altman sings soprano two with the Plano Civic Chorus and enjoys performing as a chorister multiple times throughout the year. Ms. Altman loves to spend time outside of school cheering on her favorite football teams, hanging out with her family and friends, and loving on her two fluffy cats. Her favorite parts of her job as an MMS Choir director are getting to know her students, being a goofy Choir Mama, and stretching before singing! :)
Plano Plano! East East!
