Breanne Mathias has taught elementary, middle, and high school music choirs for the past sixteen years. She received her Bachelor of Science in Music Education in 2006 from Otterbein College in Westerville, Ohio, and her Master of Science in Education Leadership in 2025 from Western Governors University. Ms. Mathias holds certifications in Kodály Levels 1 and 2 from Colorado State University in Fort Collins, Colorado. In the Fall of 2019, she became the general elementary music and choir director at Johnson Elementary, and she is now thrilled to be the general elementary music teacher at Traut Elementary School. In addition to her general music teaching, Ms. Mathias conducted her Johnson Husky Choir last January at the Colorado Music Education Association Conference at the Broadmoor in Colorado Springs. Outside of elementary music, Ms. Mathias enjoys adventures with her boyfriend, Sam, and their two dogs, Eilla and Nellie. Also, she is enthusiastic about being a part of the FoCo Teacher band, running, lifting weights, hiking, and baking delicious desserts.
Welcoming and friendly staff bring comfort to a new school for me!
I enjoy weight training, running, and hiking. When I need a sweet treat, I love baking gluten-free desserts and devouring them. Being in a band and working on my own singing and playing is wonderful.
I've always been drawn back to Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine. Mystery and suspense books pull me in, and it's hard for them not to be page-turners.

I absolutely love including music game songs and movement to expose students to discover their passion and fun with music! I have certifications in Kodály Level 1 and 2, and I utilize rhythmic and melodic aural training in my teaching with students. It is crucial to use your ears before your eyes. Every music concept includes preparation, presentation, practice, and challenges. One of my music passions is choral music, and I look forward to directing the Traut choir before school. The chime bells spark memories from my childhood, and I look forward to using them and other instruments in music class.
I teach Kindergarten through 5th grade general music.
