Hello parents and students!

My name is Beth Ledbetter, director of bands at Heritage MS.

I graduated from Texas Tech University and I began teaching band in public school in 2001. While in the Goin' Band From Raiderland, I met my husband who was a trumpet player. After college, he was a coach and science teacher and is now a school administrator. We have 3 children and 2 dogs. My oldest daughter is one of the Texas Tech drum majors this year and we are excited to go to the first football game to see her in action. My middle daughter loves playing bassoon and is also an athlete who loves tennis. My son is a 5th grader who can't wait to be in beginning band next year and plays soccer as well.

We are a family who loves the outdoors, nature, and traveling. We love hiking and skiing whenever we get a chance and this summer we visited 5 national parks where Grand Canyon and Mesa Verde were our favorites. Someday it's my dream to visit all of the national parks.

When I'm not enjoying the outdoors, I play clarinet with the Lubbock Civic Orchestra and occasionally with various churches around Lubbock.

I am ecstatic to work with Mr. Camp, parents, and students this year. I can't wait to meet you in person, learn about you, and make music together.
