My name is Karen Panganiban and I am the instrumental music director at Andres Duarte Arts Academy. I received my Bachelor of Music Degree in Music Education and Single Subject Credential (Music) from California State University, Los Angeles. My teaching experience includes 2 years of substitute teaching and 10 years as Assistant Band Director at North Park Academy of the Arts in Pico Rivera. I have performed all over the world including New York City’s Carnegie Hall where I conducted a world premiere of a composition which included choir and band. I believe I can bring the community together through music. When I am not teaching, I enjoy spending time with family and friends and attending sports events and live concerts.
