I am Ms. Moreno-Martinez, and I am a 4th year Music Education major here at UGA. I am so excited to help these students grow their musical skills so they may play music that brings them joy. Fun fact: I love the show “Steven Universe” and love to do Sudoku puzzles!

Mr. Prhust Saleh

Hi! My name is Mr. Saleh and my primary instrument is Viola! I’ve been playing viola for about 8 years now, and violin for about 2 years. I’m super excited to teach, meet students, other teachers, and spread music and joy! I’m from a Kurdish family, but grew up in Snellville, GA. I just recently transferred to the University of Georgia as a music education major, making this year my 3^rd year of college. One fun fact about me is that I love cats! I would love to turn into a cat if I could.
