Number of years you’ve taught Kindermusik:
5 years
Describe yourself in five words or less:
Loves music, loves to dance
Favorite Kindermusik song:
Our Time Hello since it’s the one my daughter sings when she “plays” Kindermusik with her dolls
Favorite Kindermusik activity, and why:
I love any of the circle songs because I love the sense of community we create as we all come together in a circle and dance.
A proud moment in a Kindermusik classroom:
When there is a connection made between a parent and child, parent and parent, or teacher and child
Something your Kindermusik children or families have taught you (could be inspirational, humorous, practical, etc.):
Be uninhibited, just go for it when singing, dancing or moving. Throw off the outside pressures of parenthood and just have fun with your little one because they do not stay little for very long!
Something funny a child has said or done in your classroom:
There was a little boy who never crawled, he would just scoot on his bottom around the room and he was fast!
The reason you teach:
I teach because what we teach can make a difference. It makes a difference for the families in the present by allowing them a special time together. It also makes a difference in the future because of the foundation being laid for future learning. I’ve seen the tremendous difference it has made, especially for those kids with other special needs. Kindermusik is a place where they can have fun and be successful.
