She aims to teach children not only to sing and play instruments, but to cultivate creativity, confidence, and collaboration.

Movement
Moving and playing games together enables students to move fully, know who they are and enter into a more healthy relationship with the world and its requirements. As the body moves becoming stronger and more agile, so does the mind reflexively become more creative and flexible, able to form stronger mental images.
Movement and games classes are joyful and fun. They engage students in a variety of modalities of movement that build a greater awareness of and intentionality with their body and self. They encourage a deeper connection to the realm of outer-awareness to others and the world at large.
In class, students participate in activities such as Zoo exercises, bean bag and racquetball games, jump rope, hand claps, cooperative and competitive group games, pentathlon training, folk dance, and improvisation.
