Joie Pinckney

I am a certified PK-12 choral music educator dedicated to arts-infused instruction and meaningful student growth, currently teaching in an arts-focused elementary setting. I center classroom practice on inclusive musical experiences that build confidence and ensemble skills.

I graduated with a B.A. in Choral Music Education and am a South Carolina Teaching Fellow graduate, with multiple academic and music scholarship recognitions. I have performance experience in university choirs and regular recital settings, and I hold a piano scholarship.

My leadership includes serving as student conductor for multiple ensembles, student government roles, and mentoring as a Big Fellow/Teaching Fellow. I contributed to my district’s Teacher of the Year selection committee and have experience supporting student programs as a summer counselor.

I bring classroom teaching experience, ensemble direction, and student mentorship to schools seeking collaborative, arts-forward music programs. I am committed to developing vocal ensembles, supporting student performance opportunities, and engaging families and the community in music education.
