Teaching Philosophy
I understand music is a form of expression and communication inherent to everyone. As such, I firmly believe we are all called to find joy in music in its many different aspects: as movers, singers, dancers, active listeners, and performers. During this process, I aim to meet each child where they are and provide a safe and engaging environment where music and movement are at the center of each activity.
