About Erin

I have five adorable kids, but before I became a mom, I was first a musician and then a teacher. I’ve taught band, orchestra, choir, private piano lessons and preschool music classes. I have a bachelor’s degree in music education with an emphasis in percussion and studied piano pedagogy in graduate school. I believe that everyone can and should benefit from a musical education and that there are endless ways to experience and create music.

These days I concentrate my musical training and passion into creating a musical education for my children that involves listening, playing and creating. This has been wonderfully challenging and rewarding. They are different ages and have very different personalities, interests and learning styles. Roxcy currently takes piano and guitar lessons. She loves learning her favorite pop songs from you tube tutorials. She’s starting to experiment with composing. Jonah started piano this year and is just starting drums. Colin takes piano. Petrea wants to take piano, but at three years old, she doesn’t quite have the physical dexterity, so we have to be creative. I do a mix of songs and games with and without the piano for her. Julian is just starting to talk so we use a lot of music to encourage language acquisition and learning about the world around him.
