"Music Education from the Start"

About the Instructors

Monica Moore graduated from USM with her Bachelor in Music Education in 2009 and has spent 14 years teaching in public music education program and private studio settings. Recently, she earned her Masters Degree in Music Education and has set out to provide top quality music education in a flexible and authentic musical environment. She believes that by having students engage musically in community they can grow to be independent musical thinkers, makers, and creators.

It is not about what children can do with music, but rather what music can do for each child.
