Sienna Haubein
Music
Hello Wyland staff, students, and families! My name is Sienna Zastrow (formerly Haubein), and I am the music teacher here at Wyland. I graduated from Luther College in 2022 with my BA in Music Education and taught for two years elsewhere before finding Wyland. This past June, I got married, and my husband and I live in St. Louis with our two cats, Kayla and Sabine. This will be my second year at Wyland and in the Ritenour school district, and I am so excited to have fun with all of Wyland’s wonderful musicians this year!
