Supply List
Please bring whatever instruments you have on hand. Specifically, maracas, rhythm sticks, guiros (or another scraping instrument), and tambourines would be great. If you do not have any instruments, no problem! feel free to clap along and make music with any household items. A scarf used for music or movement classes would be useful but not necessary.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! 
I am Ms. Magaly and I am an opera singer, chorister, voice teacher, and early childhood general and world music teacher. 

I have been a private voice teacher for 12 years and I have been teaching early childhood music classes and leading Spanish storytimes for the last seven years. 

At Outschool I teach voice lessons as well as general and world music classes and Spanish-language storytimes for the little ones. In particular, I love sharing the beauty and diversity of Latin American music with others. I strongly believe that music brings unparalleled joy, and it has become my life's mission to to share the wonders of music with all children.

I am a trained opera singer and I sing with such ensembles as the Chicago Symphony Chorus and EnAmble Ad-hoc/ Newberry Consort. I have a Bachelor's degree from Northwestern University and a Master's degree in Vocal Performance from Roosevelt University. I am  a native Spanish teacher and lover of the Spanish language. In my spare time I like to read, listen to podcasts, and play tennis.

I live just outside Chicago with my 11 year old daughter, 4 year old son, my husband, and two crazy cats!
