Teacher Chaia is not only an incredibly talented musician, she is also the most kind, thoughtful, generous, knowledgable, and child-focused music teacher. She encourages creativity while still teaching music concepts. She is patient, dynamic, and has a growth mindset which she passes on to her students, by fostering a love of learning and creating a safe and caring environment where children feel safe to experiment and take risks. She incorporates stories, visuals ,and games to teach sight reading, and possesses amazing teaching tools which enable her to teach and inspire children of all ages. In addition to her vast musical knowledge and experience, she brings a myriad of instruments to every class, which inspire and excite the children. I taught high school for ten years, and am in awe of her passion, energy, positivity, generosity, and ingenuity.
