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!
