Our teachers are passionate about music and the development of children.
They both create a fun, informal, social setting that spurs engagement and supports each child's musical development.
 | Jessie Griffiths
Jessie is a mother of two boys, five and two, who loves to make music with her family. She grew up in a family of music makers and remembers vividly those times when her family gathered in the "music room" to make Music Together®. She sang in many choruses growing up and joined an a cappella group, the Dartmouth Decibelles, in college. After college she taught English in two high schools where she started a cappella singing groups for the students. Currently she is the founder and Board president of Woodland Community School, an alternative school for children ages 5 - 14. She started her Music Together center in the North Country to bring music making into the homes of families with young children. She also dabbles in the guitar, the mountain dulcimer, knitting, quilt making, and all kinds of skiing. |
 | Caroline Simon
Caroline's whole family attended Music Together classes, including her husband Matt and her two children, Zoe and Tye. Her obvious enjoyment and ability to sing and dance prompted Jessie to ask her to become a MT teacher. She previously worked as the administrator of a non-profit organization which offered health, guidance, and counseling services in local schools (where her petiite stature led teachers to mistakenly ask her for milk money). Currently, Caroline is an artist creating paintings in a variety of mediums. Caroline grew up singing and dancing, performing in plays, choirs, a cappella, and gospel ensembles and making music with her family. The positive role that music has played in her own life made her enthusiastic about encouraging families with young children to make music together. Caroline dabbles in Latin and ballroom dancing and has been known to embarrass herself by breaking into song in public places. Come sing along! Don't worry, it's not in public. |
