JESSICA DAWN

MUSIC PLAY • KEYBOARD GAMES • UKULELE • GUITAR •office coordinator

Jessica Dawn brings a broad range of musical experiences to her role as a Music Play instructor including performing singer/songwriter, flutist, guitarist, private lesson instructor, preschool music specialist, Music Together instructor, and former Minneapolis Public School music teacher. She thoroughly enjoys being a part of the musical exploration process of young children, and is continually inspired by the joyful expressions in voice and movement that happen in class!

After teaching for several years as an elementary music teacher (Barton Open, Lucy Laney) she returned to early childhood music, where the soul of her teaching has always thrived. Jessica believes that smaller classes and incorporation of the whole family makes the music part more fun and the learning part more impactful! She also has extensive knowledge about Music Learning Theory, Keyboard Games, improvisation, varying modes and meters and composition, which she will brings to both her Music Play and Music Moves for Piano classes!

She also teaches guitar, ukulele and songwriting and brings a vast wealth of knowledge to her students through her brilliant ability to gently nudge a student’s own creative development through her own experience.

Jessica is mama to a brilliant, athletic, and musical 9-year-old son named Nathan and a cheerful, chattering and climbing 4-year-old daughter named Nolan. They are her greatest inspiration and most cherished accomplishment.
