I have a passion for creating community and connection for people of all ages through music. For young families, I offer weekly “Music Together” classes where I empower parents to create bonds, relationships and memories through music. In my engaging, interactive classes, children (infants to age 5) gain a foundation for vocal and rhythmic competency and also benefit from the social interaction, motor skills and cognitive learning that comes with making music. http://bit.ly/BenefitsofMusicforKIds I nurture each child's unique, inborn musical aptitude, through playful, but educational, musical experiences (singing, dancing, rhythm-making, instrument play, creative movement, spontaneity and improvisation) that can be recreated at home, in the car and almost anywhere. In my classes, I give families the tools they need to speak and make music together with their children – thus keeping the tradition of music making alive in our culture.

I decided to change careers after working in information systems, marketing and multimedia for over 25 years. I was laid off from my job after the recession in 2007. After considering my options, I decided to pursue my passion for music and decided to make teaching music my life's work. My mission in life is to be a "creative catalyst for the enjoyment and participation in music for people of all ages" I know make my living doing what I love, which includes teaching Music Together Kids Music Classes (http://www.MusicTogetherBozeman.com.
