Teacher Amy has been teaching Music Together^® for twenty years. She raised two musical, dancing daughters who enjoyed the program. She believes the program is the perfect way to musically connect with littles and the childcare community!

From age seven Amy played piano, finished the Music Teacher's Association music theory program as a teenager, and continued piano, theory and voice lessons at Pomona College. In turn she performed in various bands, including jazz and rock groups, and has toured in the US and Europe as a background vocalist. Amy has studied opera, has performed in recitals, weddings and musical theater, and has provided voice and piano instruction to children. She retired in 2024 from her city planning job, and now takes college courses, sings in two choirs, and performs in community musicals.

“When I am teaching, I love to encourage harmony, rhythmic experimentation, and fun dance moves inspired by the toddlers’ movements. My best experiences are singing and dancing in community, and enjoying silliness too - feeling fully human! Movement, sound exploration, and dance circles have been part of the human experience for thousands of years.  I study archaeology and see prehistoric rock art that shows the earliest art form - dancing - and artifacts that show ancient societies placed high value in music making. Everyone carries with them their first instrument - their voice - and can find it, develop it, use it to connect with others and express themselves!"
