OUR TEACHERS

MISS SARAH

Sarah is the Owner and director of Windham Music Studios. She graduated from Grace College in 2015 with Bachelor of Arts degrees in both
Psychology and Biblical Studies and a minor in Spanish, as well as adding many musical theater performances to her resume. Along with 13 years of dancing ballet, she played a variety of instruments throughout her school years including piano, French
horn, mallet percussion, and tuba (her favorite!), and sang in almost every choir she
could. Sarah began her journey with Kindermusik when she started attending classes
with her then 3 month-old son. Certified to teach Kindermusik since 2014, she has
found teaching Kindermusik to be the perfect pairing for her interest in developmental
psychology and love of music and movement.

Miss Catie

She taught as a building substitute teacher in York Suburban School District before the arrival of her son. She then became a nanny for a few families. Catie started her Kindermusik journey when her 17 month old son started classes in 2023.

Miss Tasha

Tasha graduated from Temple University in 2012 with a Bachelors in Music Education. Since graduating, Tasha has taught and directed various general music classes, choirs, instrumental ensembles, and musicals, as well as taught both vocal and piano lessons. She has served as the middle school choral director at Emory H Markle Middle School since 2014 and has been directing several of South Western School District’s elementary bands since 2020. Tasha committed to furthering her studies and received her Master’s in Choral Conducting from Messiah College in 2016. She is currently working on an additional certification in teaching music to students with special needs through the University of Arkansas. Tasha first found interest in early childhood music when she interned in Temple University’s Music Prep program in 2011-2012. Her desire to share how music can be used as a tool for learning only grew, as she witnessed infants through preschoolers increase their language, motor, and social-emotional skills within this early childhood music program.

Tasha is excited to expand her musical endeavors in working with early childhood music through Windham Music Studios. She loves how Kindermusik provides an open, safe, and nurturing environment for both children and caregivers to learn, grow, play, and socialize with others in their community. She also loves the added bonus of having her two children alongside her to partake in the magic of music-making.
