Jean Young has been teaching Music Together^® classes in Larchmont for the past 14 years and has directed our center for seven years.  Jean also serves as music teacher at Christ’s Church Nursery School in Rye and at Temple Emanu-El Nursery School in Manhattan. She was musical director of the Chatsworth Avenue After-School Musical for 15 years and she directs the children's choir at Community Unitarian Church.

Jean challenges the adults in her classes to stretch their music and dance abilities. (What, me sing a round? Dance a contradance?) She encourages them to interact musically with their children to see how much fun it is to grow musically together! She loves to see the class dissolve into laughter trying to pass the eggs around the circle! And she relishes their satisfaction when everyone succeeds in keeping the beat!

Phyllis came to Music Together as the mother of three stellar children who were enrolled in our classes. Becoming a teacher herself, she was a favorite of families in Mamaroneck for many years. For the past few years, she's been exploring the business world, but she is eager to get back to the fun of teaching Music Together. She brings a beautiful voice, stand-up comedy experience, and a warm heart to her teaching.
