Hopewell Middle School

Orchestra

Mrs. Teresa Hoebeke

I was born and raised in Albany, Georgia.  I began playing the violin in the 4th grade in the Dougherty County Public Schools.  I am currently in my twelfth year of teaching. This is my fourth year as Orchestra Director at Hopewell Middle School in Alpharetta. Prior to this appointment, I taught for two years at Sandy Springs Middle School and Spalding Drive Elementary. I began my  teaching career in Macon, Georgia with the Bibb County Public Schools.  During this time I served as director of the Bibb County Elementary Honor Orchestra and as the Orchestra Liaison for the Bibb County Music Department.

In 2001, I was named Teacher of the Year for the Bibb County Music Department. I was also awarded the Beacon Light Award for outstanding service in the Bibb County Public Schools.

I graduated cum laude from Florida State University with a B.M. in Violin Performance and from the University of Miami with a M.M. in Violin Performance. During my career, I have performed with several orchestras including the Miami Symphony, Tallahassee Symphony Orchestra, Southwest Florida Symphony, Florida Philharmonic, Charleston Symphony, Albany Symphony Orchestra, and the Savannah Symphony.  I currently perform as a first violinist with the Macon Symphony Orchestra, Columbus Symphony Orchestra, and the Cobb Symphony Orchestra.

I am happily married and have a 2 year old son, Thomas.  I enjoy spending time with my family, as well as my three cats (Tabitha, Figaro, and Cleo).  In my spare time, I enjoy reading, arts-n-crafts, listening to music, and watching football (GO NOLES!!!).
