Teachers

Our teachers bring diverse talents and experiences, and share a common passion: inspiring children and families through the joy of music.

Each has completed the Music Together® Teacher Training, grounded in early childhood music and development research.  
We create a fun, informal, social setting that spurs engagement and supports each child's musical development.
