Our Teachers

All of our teachers are passionate about music and the development of children.

They create a fun, informal, social setting that spurs engagement and supports each child's musical development.

Laura was first introduced to Music Together® as a mom almost 11 years ago and has been the Center Director of San Diego Music Together for 8 years. She received her Certification in 2002 and is a member of the Directors Leadership Group. Laura has been involved with music most of her life on various fronts. National competitions on the east coast, studying voice and communications at the University of Southern Maine and Emerson University, and performing in many musical theater productions. Laura's teaching reflects her love for music and her desire to help families bring the joy of making music together as a family back into their homes.

Gina began singing in church at age four and continued her vocal training through college. She received her BA in Theater at Trinity University and still enjoys attending theater and dance performances. She came to Music Together as a mom with her son and wishes she had known about the program when her daughter was little! After a year as a MT mom, Gina completed her teacher training and began teaching in 2004. She especially enjoys finding new ways to play with music and watching her students grow musically.
Update! In March 2008 Gina took her Certification Level 1 here in San Diego and passed with flying colors. Way to go Gina!

As a Music Together mom, Heather saw the fun and joy that the Music Together experience brought into her home—not only for her and her now four-year-old daughter, but for her husband and tough-to-please middle-school-aged daughters as well. ¬Heather looks forward to combining her love of children, music and acting silly into a vocation as a Music Together teacher and is excited to share her enthusiasm with new and returning Music Together families. Heather has a B.A. in Religious Studies and Political Science from Trinity University and when she’s not dancing and singing, she likes to keep herself occupied with yoga and creative writing

Beth is currently a student at San Diego State University studying Communication and Spanish. She has been dancing and singing her whole life and truly could not imagine life without it! Beth is so excited to be teaching Music Together because she feels it is so beneficial and fun for children as well as parents. For Beth, Music Together is so exciting because it combines two of her favorite things, singing and children. She is very excited to begin her Music Together journey and make new friends in a fun musical environment!

Shiri was raised in a musical household being her
mother is also a teacher and singer, and she has
continued to surround her life with music since then.
She has a Bachelors Degree in Communication Science
from a private University in Mexico City where she
grew up, and she has been teaching children language
and folk dance for more than ten years. Her love for
Music Together has grown since she has been able to
experience the program with her own two daughters.
