Humans of Sparta: Ms. Bach

 By Hayley Lane

If you’ve taken orchestra, or have been to an orchestra or even choir concert, you’ve definitely seen Ms. Bach! Ms. Bach is the subject of today’s Humans of Sparta! She is Sparta High School’s orchestra teacher, and has been teaching for 29 years! She has a daughter who also plays violin and sings, and has three cats named Midnight, Star, and Cupcake. One of her most exciting teaching experiences was when the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra visited our orchestra. Students sat side by side with a member of the orchestra and watched them play. Besides teaching, another dream job of hers is playing cello for the broadway show Dear Evan Hansen. “It has a beautiful cello part!”, she says. Her favorite part of hybrid learning is seeing the students play together. Her most difficult part of hybrid learning is not seeing all of her students at once, having to miss out on last year’s senior pin ceremony, and not being able to perform. She looks forward to the day when her orchestra can finally perform together in a concert!
