Teacher Lisa
with bilingual support – Chinese
Teacher Lisa’s Music Together journey began as a parent, attending classes with her son for a year. From the beginning, she was an enthusiastic and playful participant who quickly became part of the community, connecting easily with children and other families. Through that experience, she discovered not only how much she loved Music Together, but how much she enjoyed the joyful, playful, and present version of herself that emerged when making music with children.
She holds a Bachelor’s degree in International Trade and an MBA. Before becoming a Music Together teacher, she spent eight years in business management, with experience in brand distribution and international trade. Her experience as a Music Together parent ultimately inspired her to take a very different path and become a teacher herself.
Music brings Teacher Lisa genuine happiness, and she loves sharing that joy with children and families. Her warmth, playfulness, and natural ability to connect with others create an environment where children can sing, move, explore, and express themselves freely.
For her, Music Together is a place to share joy, build connections, and grow together.
