Janet Kapala, nicknamed "Mrs. K," has been teaching instrumental music to students on all three campuses of Cranbrook since 1977.
In her position, Janet has played a role with students from their first tentative toots on their instrument of choice at Brookside, to the challenge of leading middle school musicians in their only co-educational class, to nurturing upper school students through award-winning performances in the highest levels of competition. She brings equal enthusiasm to homecoming performances in the stands of the oval as standing room only performances at the PAC. Janet is a charter member of the Blue Lake Fine Arts Adult Band Camp and has spent many summers on tour throughout Europe with their community band.
