Teacher expertise and credentials
👋 Hello! Welcome to Music Memories Academy. My name is Ms. Jessica, and I'm thrilled to have you here!
I believe every child has the potential for musicianship. My passion is to ignite joy and curiosity in my students, fostering a lifelong love for music and creating cherished memories. With over 8 years of experience teaching music in both classroom settings and private lessons, I love introducing children to the fundamentals of music. In our group and self-paced classes, students will sing, play instruments, move to music, explore elements (rhythm, tempo, and pitch, etc.) and participate in engaging activities that enhance their skills and appreciation for music. Private lessons will focus on recorder or flute instruction tailored to each student’s unique goals and learning needs.
Access to music education provides children with a powerful way to express themselves and connect with others, offering tremendous social and emotional benefits. I strive to create a vibrant and inclusive environment where every student feels encouraged to participate, grow, and have fun. Together, we will create beautiful "Music Memories!"
