Clarinet, Saxophone, Voice
Jaylynn Arias began loving music at an early age. Growing up, her family was always participating in music whether in church children's choir, band, musical theatre and there was always music in the home. Singing was Jaylynn's first passion and remains a huge passion today as she is a leader in her church's worship ministry and a jazz vocalist in her free time.
While singing is her first instrument, clarinet is one of her favorites to play and teach! In a small Texas school district, Jaylynn didn't have a clarinet teacher, so with much determination, she embarked on her middle/high school band career. Jaylynn went on to make ATSSB All Region top ensembles every year on clarinet, as well as, ATSSB All-State Concert band in 2014 and 2015. During high school, her interest to learn saxophone took her to participating in All Region Jazz Ensembles in South Texas and additionally as a Jazz Vocalist.
After high school, Jaylynn received her Bachelors of Art in Music Education from Southwestern Assemblies of God University in 2019. Since graduation, Jaylynn has been teaching in Frisco ISD as an elementary music specialist. Her love for music and the memories she holds near and dear of her music education growing up is one of the primary reasons she chose education as her profession. Jaylynn's hope for all students is to gain skills that can provide a creative outlet and skills that can last a lifetime!
"There is music in every child. The teacher's job is to find it and nurture it." - Frances Clark
