She first found Music Together in 2023, and taught classes in Queens and Brooklyn. She developed a strong belief in the value of the Music Together curriculum after witnessing strengthened connections between the children and parents, and the positive impacts of her students’ development.

Dave has wanted to be a musician and entertainer since age 10, when he first picked up a tennis racket the wrong way to strum along with Def Leppard videos in the early days of MTV. As an amateur musician, Dave fooled around with various marching bands, rock groups and even day jobs before "going pro" as a registered Music Together teacher in 2002. He has been known to play guitar, banjo, bass, tuba, mandolin, harmonica, drums and kazoo, though not at the same time. Nowadays, in addition to teaching Music Together, Dave sings and plays lead guitar for The Fuzzy Lemons, the metro area's hottest family-friendly rock band. He lives in Hoboken with his wife and son and a polydactyl cat named Morpheus.
