Teaching Artist Statement
It is a joy to teach music to children and families. Music Together® is a true light in my life that I love, and about which I am very passionate. My happiness in teaching also extends to SSC’s arts-integrated preschool program where I have co-taught both kindergarten and 2-day/ 3-day classes. My teaching with the preschool program extended to being the 2-day music specialist as well. What a community of music makers we are!
