I love children, singing, rhythm sticks and storytelling!

 

Music has always been an important part of my life.  I started performing duets with my brother when I was 4 years old.  I grew up taking many music, voice, and piano lessons and was in many choirs, ensembles and performing arts groups.

 

Since graduating from CSUS, I have focused on homeschooling my four daughters.  Our home has been filled with singing and music.  My two older girls have been playing the violin for over 11 years so I am experienced as a musical mom.  I love little children so I created and currently organize a preschool/kindergarten group.


My passion is to make learning fun.  I strive to teach children to enjoy and love music through songs, rhythms and storytelling..
