Music has been part of my life since childhood, when I began singing, dancing, performing in theatre, and playing piano. As a former social worker, experienced yoga teacher, and mom to three young boys, I bring together my love of music, movement, connection, and early childhood development in every class.

I founded The Music Class - Five Valleys in 2023 after seeing firsthand how much joy and connection music brought to my own family. Our goal is simple: to create joyful, welcoming spaces where children feel seen, families feel connected, and everyone can experience the magic of making music together.

I'm grateful you're taking time to explore The Music Class - Five Valleys and look forward to making music with you in class!

What two things could possibly bring us more joy than children and music? I am so grateful to get to work with your little musicians and share that joy with you. I believe learning music in a way that is developmentally appropriate and play based will prepare our little ones for a life of understanding and appreciating music. It will also help us, as their grown ups, to connect and communicate with them with more than just words. I have a Bachelors Degree in Elementary Education with a Teaching English as a Second Language minor. I have worked with children for the past decade; most recently as a preschool teacher, daycare provider, and coach. While I have a degree in Elementary Education, my love for the baby and preschool ages was found while parenting my own little musicians. I believe music is a powerful cultural tool that we can use to connect to others in our community. In my youth I was actively involved in choir and orchestra. I have recently connected to that part of myself and my community again here in Missoula. I have been involved in several Missoula Children’s Theaters productions and have found others who love to learn in the Missoula Community Choir. I look forward to seeing you and your little musicians in Music Class soon!
