Jean Baughman

Miss Baughman was a treasure!! I took piano lessons from her form 1st to 8th grade. I also would sometimes go to her apt in town for a lesson here and there...whch i thought was so cool!!! she always encouraged all students to get involved with music, lessons, choir and Honor Choir. She was very dedicated and tried to help those who had a hard time getting rides to rehearsals..be it parents or her giving rides. She was extremely knowledgeable and gifted with all to do with music. She...

Along with so many others, I was a piano student of Jean Baughman's. I continue to play to this day and wish I had practiced more when I was with her! It was always a special time when Miss Baughman came to our house to give piano lessons as she spent 20 min. with multiple students (brothers and sisters) and then would stay for dinner. Her infamous jello molds were always a treat. There were times when we would have lessons at her apartment "in town" and that was really special. I always...

I've always appreciated and admired the commitment of educators like Miss Baughman. They are a rare jewel! Our daughter attended Lakeside from K-8 and we are grateful for Miss Baughman's dedication and introducing her, as well as the hundreds of children, to the world of music.

I wouldn't admit it as a kid but I really did enjoy her musical instruction. She is going to be missed dearly.

What an amazing women who contributed so much to this world. I was a a little farm kid at Lakeside from 1991-1999 and I remember Miss Baughman coming into our classes with her cart full of tambourines and other instruments to share her knowledge of music with us. I was also a private guitar and piano student of hers taking lessons at her home and always admiring her collection of petrified rocks (as I had never seen them before, she was always teaching). She helped me find my first guitar...

I worked as the program scheduler for Young Audiences with Jean for many years. Her enthusiasm for children knowing about music was never ending. I am sure her work will live on for years to come. Thank you Jean for all you did for the kids. You were a blessing.

I remember her from 1975-1983. She really had a passion for music. She will greatly be missed.

She was a wonderful woman and very passionate about sharing her love for music with her students. Thanks to her, I know about the music of Bach and Beethoven, I can still play "Boogie Woogie Blues" on the piano, I remember the harmony parts that I learned in choir to "Somewhere Over the Rainbow, and I can Hokey Pokey with the best of them. I am absolutely sure that she is teaching music in heaven!
