How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
I did my graduate work in Piano Pedagogy at USC and became interested in how young children learn. While teaching piano at Anderson College, I was asked to teach a Kindermusik class during my lunch break. I was so impressed at how it prepared children for further music studies that I eventually devoted my full attention to Kindermusik!
I have also studied and performed at Interlochen Center for the Arts. I love to be able to assist at-risk children and families, and frequently speak to teacher and parent groups.
