Three Little Birds Music Together - Meet the Teachers of Three Little Birds Music Together

Our teachers come from all sorts of backgrounds, but they’re united by a common passion: Sharing music and the powerful impact it has on early childhood development with children and families.

All teachers have successfully completed the live Music Together^® (or Canta y Baila Conmigo^®) Teacher Training, which is built on research in early childhood and music development. We keep our skills fresh through workshops every semester and advanced trainings offered by Music Together Worldwide.

		Ms. Jen Ms Jen She first found Music Together as a mom of young children with a toddler and newborn at the time. After trying a variety of other music and movement programs, she fell in love with the rich musical experience and age-appropriate expectations she found in the Music Together classroom. She brought all three of her children through the program until her youngest began Montessori school. It was at that time Ms Jen knew her journey with Music Together was not ending, but just beginning and she made the life-changing decision to attend the Music Together teacher training. Ms Jen has been a registered Music Together teacher since 2013 and Center Director since 2015. She has been the Music Together In School Provider for Bridges Montessori since 2015 and loves how her life has come full circle, as a Montessori kid herself raised by a Montessori teacher. She has a passion for early childhood development and Montessori philosophy and loves using these tools in her Music Together teaching journey. Ms Jen re-launched Three Little Birds Music Together family classes in 2021 when she saw how much her local community was in need of community and family-bonding programming. Nothing brings people together more than singing and dancing together. Her classes grew rapidly and she has grown from teaching just a few Mixed-Age classes a week, to building a team offering a full schedule of MA, Babies, and Generations classes, as well as the new addition of Canta y Baila Conmigo^®. When she’s not teaching (and let’s be real - when is she not teaching), she stays busy with her three kiddos who are all very active in sports, music, and other typical teen activities. She loves and values her time with her family. Fun fact that you may not know - Ms Jen is also an avid motorcycle rider and even worked as a small engine mechanic for some years before having children. Her favorite things: A good playlist, sunsets, being in nature, and anything that feeds her creativity and passion for life and love.

		Ms Francesca Ms Francesca found Music Together as a nanny and fell in love right away with the program and community. She fit right in loving the opportunity to sing along, be silly and have fun with the class community, and observing the musical behaviors and impact the class had on the children and famines around her. Ms Francesca love of music and movement started in grade school. She was involved in musical theater during her middle and high school career and also played the flute and sang in choral groups. Most recently she has been learning the harmonium and mridanga drum. Fun fact!… When Ms Francesca came home singing our Hello Everybody song, her husband realized the music class she had been raving about was the same class his mom had taken him to as a young child, which set the foundation for his notable musical proficiency as an adult! What a cool full circle moment! Ms Francesca has moved into her new role as Music Together teacher seamlessly, with her beautiful singing voice and rhythm, her kind and connected demeanor, and her magical way with all the kiddos in class. Families in Ms Francesca’s class can expect a welcoming and inclusive community, a teacher their children will love and easily connect with, and lots of playful musical fun!
