Brigitte is thriving in a close knit environment and joined the TMC corporate family in Sep 2019. She has received a Bachelor degree in Finance and has worked in the Canadian Armed Forces, Bank of America and other private corporations in their accounting departments. Her love for music started at a young age as her parents insisted that all their seven daughters were going to learn classical piano. Later on, she took saxophone and oboe lessons and joined community bands. She mostly enjoyed entertaining the seniors at retirement homes and playing at official dinners with the military. With the birth her own four children she came to value the education in music even more and enrolled them in Music for Young Children, then private piano lessons and later on, school bands and marching bands.

Jen Lathrop is the Executive Vice President of Strategy and Curriculum Development. She has always been super-passionate about music for everyone – and even more so after being a "Music Class Mom" with her own children! Jen took a round-about path to music, with stops in construction engineering and city planning - but she has always found joy in movement and music and making it into her life's work has been a gift. Jen started teaching with TMC in 2004, and has since taken on administrative duties, including training and managing centers and schools all over the world! 
Favorite TMC Moment
Choosing one moment after so many years with TMC is impossible. My favorite time as a teacher is experiencing a moment of connection with each of "my kids". Sometimes it's a sweet wave, or a vigorous hug that knocks me over - but it's always special to be part of their lives.

Favorite TMC moment
Receiving a surprise engagement party at a teacher workshop. I’m oblivious to surprise parties and events happening off script. Everyone was in on it including my wife. After she walked in, I still didn’t put all the pieces together. Then there was cake and it all made sense.

"Perhaps the reason I love music and teaching so much is because they both encompass creativity, working with others, and an endless path towards improvement.” 
Rob received his Bachelor of Music Performance and Master of Music Education Degrees from the Manhattan School of Music and also studied at the Juilliard School. He started his career as a trumpet player in the Natal Philharmonic Orchestra in South Africa and has had the opportunity to play with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and the Atlanta Symphony Brass Quintet. He currently enjoys playing in the Sentimental Journey Orchestra.
Realizing that early childhood was the most important time in music development, Rob decided to leave his position as a school band director (after spending 12 years in that role) in order to work with young children. After looking at existing early childhood music programs and not being able to find one that provided the critical combination of outstanding educational content, music that parents can enjoy, and a fun and interactive classroom environment, he decided to create his own. The result was that in 1998, Rob created the The Music Class® curriculum - writing, arranging and recording our songs and developing our teaching methods.

Rob is proud to have created The Music Class with the assistance of his wife Michele and children Raina and Brian. Staring from when she was only 8 years-old, Raina composed many of our most popular songs, and Brian has enjoyed singing on our recordings since the age of 2. Rob is also thankful to the wonderful teachers whose expertise and passion have contributed to the success of The Music Class.

I love meeting up with families years after they have graduated from TMC. It’s wonderful to see that for so many, music and other creative arts continue to play a significant and joyful part in their lives.
