Laurynn's childhood was infused with music right from the start. After becoming a guitarist and saxophonist, she knew she needed to find some way to help others through the innate power she saw in music. She studied music therapy at Berklee College of Music, becoming a board certified music therapist in 2011. She has since worked in a variety of settings including special needs schools, child care, hospitals, senior care facilities and hospice. 

Laurynn, holding an MA and teaching credential in Early Childhood Special Education from San Francisco State, enjoys reaching people with music from birth through end of life and her work is a gift to us all. 

Gina has been working with kids and their relationship with music and the arts for over 20 years. As an actress in Santa Monica she spent her free time reading to kids in inner city schools. After noticing that their music classes were cut, she began singing to them as well, and never forgot the effect that music had on their young absorbing minds. Years later, when Gina and her daughter took a Music Together class, she thought to herself, "Why don't I teach here too?” Teacher Kelly and Teacher El took her under their wings and she’s been teaching on and off for the past ten years, always brought back by the joy she gets helping kids bring their music competence to a new level. She loves what Music Together has done for her and her family and looks forward to sharing her love of music with other families.

Riki was first introduced to Music Together as a nanny, when she took her charges to classes, and became hooked immediately. 

She grew up immersed in music. Singing at home or on road trips was second nature to her family. It was only after she completed her teacher training that she realized just how fortunate she was for this.

Between her love for children and love for music, becoming a Music Together teacher was the clear choice and she has been teaching since 2010. 

Riki also sings in choirs, performs in community musical theater and has been known to sing and dance at the grocery store, too.
