She had a delightful character and everyone respected and appreciated her passion. She was kind hearted, articulate and had a unique style of dress. Each day I attended class she wore her hair in a beautiful bun. She was strict on all the young ladies in her classroom. If someone had sat inappropriately in a chair, she would quote “Young ladies do not sit like that”. This was her way to show parental love and affection for all of us and ensure that we were proper with ones’ behavior. She was my favorite teacher because her teaching style was perfect. Though she taught choir, she was also my English teacher. I will always remember every day before practice we would do vocal exercise in order to prepare one’s voice to sing. During choir rehearsal when a student sings off key, she would make everyone sing that individual part. This was her unique way of finding the student who was off tone. The way she taught made choir rehearsal fascinating because it was her way to motivate us toward perfection.

Mrs. Myles has influenced my life for the better because she taught me the difference between gospel and choral music. From these experiences, I have learned how to do vocal exercise and, to always practice time management
