.JEFF and HEARTSONG

 

Hello Everybody!

I think it’s time for me to introduce myself. My name is Stacie, and I am so happy to have been given the opportunity to become the new director for Jeffs Music Together/Heartsong Kids.  I’m am so happy to meet all of you.

I know that many of you have been taking classes with Jeff for a very long time, and that  you loved going to his classes. I wanted to let you know that though the owner and name of this center is different, the love of music making, of spending time and singing with all of you and your wonderful children, and watching them grow up is something we BOTH share.  Jeff put a lot of heart and soul into his business and his teaching, and I intend to do the same.

I’m here to continue his legacy, and keep your Music Together experience as wonderful and as inspiring as it was before.

Becoming a director has been a long time dream of mine, and I’m pretty sure I told Jeff that exact thing those first few weeks when I apprenticed with him. Since then, the dream of mine has never changed, which is why being able to now be a director is so amazing.

So, grab your little one and your singing voice, and come on out and join us for an amazing fall!

All the best,

Stacie
