                 A bit about me...

I graduated from North Park College in Chicago, Illinois, with a degree in Elementary Education.  I taught school before my children were born and have worked with children ever since:  teaching community education classes, Sunday School Classes, Vacation Bible School;  directing children's choirs; writing and co-directing children's musicals.  I taught Music for Young Children for seven years in Carlsbad and am now bringing Music for Young Children to the Temecula area. 

                    Why I love Music for Young Children!

Music for Young Children (MYC) is a wonderful, innovative, comprehensive curriculum that has combined the best of two worlds for me...music and teaching. It makes learning music fun and leads to success through hands on involvement and parent participation. It is a joy to watch the children and even some parents tap into their creative talents and become budding musicians. And yes, I have had some parents who continue on with private lessons right along with their children.

MYC students develop skills and self-discipline to carry them successfully through their lives, not only in music, but also in areas involving:

• Math development
• Critical thinking
• Self-Confidence

It is a sure, strong foundation for future success in the school classroom.   It has even been shown that music students score higher on SAT tests.

I believe that music is an essential part of a well rounded life. Music lessons are a gift that lasts a lifetime.  I feel fortunate to be able to play a part in opening up the world of music for my MYC students and parents.
