The Holy Family Catholic Regional Division (HFCRD) is excited to learn one of its longest standing teachers is being recognized for her contributions to music in Alberta. Good
Shepherd School teacher and Choir Leader, Nicola Quigley is being profiled by the Alberta Music Advocacy Alliance’s (AMAA) monthly Spotlight Series, which celebrates music within Alberta communities.

“All of Nicola’s contributions over her 30-plus years with our division have been a true blessing,” says Superintendent Betty Turpin. “It’s hard to find someone with as much energy and passion for teaching music to our students so this is a well-deserved recognition for a great teacher and a wonderful woman.”

Quigley was nominated for the AMAA Spotlight Series by her peers at the Alberta Orff Association.

“Showing children the beauty of music and how it brings us all together is a passion,” says Quigley. “It’s been a blessing to be able to share my love of music with our students for the last 30-plus years.”

The Orff Approach is a teaching method for music that combines movement, drama and speech into
