Stacey is a Music Together parent as well and has attended many classes over the years with her children. She is excited to have received her teacher certification from Music Together so she can guide the musical experiences of young children through the Music Together program.

Stacey continues to be inspired by the innate ability young children have in music and rhythm and she recognizes that an early introduction to music is important in affecting children's musical growth. While interacting with children in a musically playful manner and modeling an interest in music in class, she educates parents on enriching their children's musical and communicative skills.
