All of our teachers have successfully completed the Music Together^® Teaching Workshop developed by the Center for Music and Young Children, Princeton, New Jersey. Additionally, our teachers have been awarded Music Together Certification Level I status, having demonstrated outstanding achievement in teaching, musicianship, program philosophy, and parent education. The award was granted by the Center for Music and Young Children in Princeton, New Jersey, Kenneth Guilmartin, Founder/Director. They participate in continuing education thru skills & songs workshops several times a year. We are passionate about music and young children, and hope to inspire a whole new generation of music makers who can sing in tune, move in rhythm and participate with joy and confidence as they create music with family and friends throughout their lives. We love what we do!
