Annie Cavanaugh is one of our newest additions to the elementary music teacher team. She and her family moved to Burbank 7 years ago in support of her husbands career in film sound. Little did she know this move would eventually help her live the goal that she had realized long before Burbank was on the horizon. Annie pursued her bachelor's degree in music education at Brigham Young University - Idaho, all the while knowing that her two dreams in life were to be a mother and a music teacher. Becoming a mom came first, and through a series of happy accidents becoming a music teacher came second. She now has three of the most amazing girls and is proud to be both a Burbank District parent and teacher.
