FACULTY
Our teachers, class instructors, ensemble directors, and music therapists are experienced educators with degrees from prestigious institutions including the Juilliard School, the Eastman School of Music, Berklee College of Music, the University of North Texas, the Mozarteum Academy, the Moscow State Conservatory, and the University of Washington. They are also among the Puget Sound region’s most active and sought-after performers, with varied experiences that include work with the Seattle Symphony, Seattle Opera, Pacific Northwest Ballet Orchestra, Ray Charles, Frank Sinatra, Natalie Cole, the San Francisco Symphony, the Boston Pops, and more.
We take great care in selecting our faculty and use the same background check standards that guide our public schools.
