All of the teachers teaching for Enchanted Music Together are
passionate about music—and more importantly about supporting your
child's musical journey. During their classes, they create a fun,
informal, musically rich social setting that supports the varied
learning styles of both children and adults. All of our teachers have
completed the three-day Music Together teacher training and some have
participated in Music Together’s Advanced Certification Program.
