She told me one piece of music defines her as an instructor. About 2015, she pulled out a piece called Bogoroditse Devo by Rachmaninoff. It was a piece she sung in college, and Hovey wasn’t sure if her students could pull it off. She says from the first measure, her students were hooked.
Hovey says she has thirty-one students in choir—about a third of New Rockford-Sheyenne High School. She says what defines her as a teacher is that she continues to challenge them—and that her students are up to each challenge.
Performing Bogoroditse Devo earned her choir a spot at the North Dakota Music Educators Conference.
