Maryann Salamone's Story
After graduation from NAHS, I went on to West Chester University, majoring in Music Education and graduated in December, 1980. I lived in West Chester for a few years and married Bob in 1982. My husband's occupation took us for a tour of Pennsylvania from West Chester to the Lehigh Valley to mid-state and back.
I currently live in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania with my husband, Bob, my mother-in-law, Louise, my son, Kyle and our Sheltie J.D.
I always wanted to be a teacher when I grew up. My family and friends thought that was a good idea. As it turns out, they were right. I have been teaching since 1981. Currently I am a middle school instrumental music teacher.
I would have to thank Mrs. Ida Foster for the inspiration that I needed to go into music. I always enjoyed band in Jr. High at East Norriton then at Eisenhower. Mr. Horoho,Mr. Frederickson, Mr. Brey, Ms. Higgin...Expand for more
s...I suppose that I am working where I loved to be...and that is a good thing.
My favorite way to relax is to read, listen to music and watch movies. I love to read! I was addicted to the Harry Potter novels and now the Twilight series. My students motivate many of my recreational reading choices.
Two of my favorite movies are Practical Magic and Twister. Recently I have been captured by Underworld, the Matrix and the Terminator!
My music listening is eclectic. Natasha Bedingfield, to Pink, Colby Caillat to my old faves of Billy Joel, Barry Manilow, Earth, Wind and Fire and Chicago...not enough room here to name them all!
My father, Ray Salamone is my hero. The voice of the "Marching Eagles!" Unfortunately, we lost him about 15 years ago. He taught me the value of family. The unconditional support and love that he shared with our family has inspired all of us.
