Patricia Hudson
Middle School Honor Band
Band Director--Sky Ranch Middle School—Sparks, NV
Growing up in Sparks, Mrs. Hudson was very fortunate to take advantage of the phenomenal music programs in Washoe County where she developed her love for music. After graduating from Reed High School, she went on to pursue a degree in Music Education at the University of Nevada, graduating with honors in May 1998. Patricia taught band and choir at Mendive Middle School from 1998-2004 and loved every minute of it. Her life took another direction from 2004-2010 when she took the hardest job of her life, stay at home mom.
In 2010, Patricia bought local music company, Step Into Music that teaches early childhood music classes to children. In 2018, she sold the company to return to public school teaching where she taught General Music at Spanish Springs Elementary School grades 2-6.
In 2019, Patricia returned to her true passion, teaching middle school band. She teaches nearly 300 students grades 6-8 at Sky Ranch Middle School. She says, “My love for middle school music is because of my amazing middle school band teacher, Earline McGrannahan. I try every day to give my students the same passion for music that she gave me.”
With her husband Todd, they are raising little musicians. Emily plays percussion at the University of Nevada and bassoon at Truckee Meadows Community College, and Lexi plays the French Horn at Edward C Reed High School.
