Lisa Werner is the PreK-8th grade Band, Choir, and Music teacher at St. Bruno Parish School in Dousman, WI. Her commitment goes beyond the conventional, constantly seeking inventive ways to intertwine music with diverse subjects, such as orchestrating students’ experiments on sound and music during a Space for Teachers zero gravity flight while playing her trombone, making connections between music and bathymetry on a NOAA Teacher at Sea mission to Oregon, or traveling on a National Geographic/Lindblad Expedition Grosvenor Teacher Fellowship to study music’s existence in Antarctica. Lisa’s passion lies in showcasing music as a tool for fostering empathy, managing emotions, and establishing connections across all cultures and eras. Her goal is to kindle aspirations in students, encouraging them to dream big and leverage the skills acquired in music class to achieve their ambitions. Lisa is beyond excited to participate in the Fulbright Program, as she knows that sharing this experience with the students she teaches will solidify their identities as future leaders, equipped to work with others around the world to address global challenges . As Bono once said, “Music can change the world, because it can change people.”
