What I enjoy most about Brookview: I have been teaching music at Brookview since August, 1997. I am an accomplished pianist, and have been writing music for theaters in Chicago and throughout the country for the past 25 years.

Each child is different from the next, which is what makes each day interesting. In addition, as a Montessori educator, it is my responsibility to kindle the individual passions and illuminate the hidden talents in our colorful student body, and to help each child gain an appreciation of music from all over the world. This is a joy and a privilege.
