Our Teachers

All of the teachers at the Music Together Princeton Lab School 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 Music Together teacher training and many have participated in Music Together’s Advanced Certification Program.
