Everyone Is Musical!

September 24 2026

We walk, pacing our strides in a natural rhythm. Our speaking voices rise and fall, shifting in pitch and dynamics as we talk with one another. And when a familiar song drifts through the grocery store or fills a concert hall, we can’t help but hum along. Everyone is musical.

And music is magical!

• The Newborn Rhythm: Research shows that infants can detect beat and pitch patterns within days of birth, long before they speak.
• Distinct Neural Wiring: Some people who lose language after a stroke can still sing and appreciate music, suggesting the two rely on different networks in the brain.
• A Natural Mood Boost: Music engages the brain’s reward system, releasing dopamine and endorphins that can lift your spirits.

So why not explore your musicality further? Whether you want to build your voice through singing and breath work or sit down at the piano and start making music right away, I’d love to invite you in. Bring your curiosity, your interests, and the music you love. There’s a place for you at my studio in Mill Valley, or in my online virtual studio. I teach voice and piano with a playing-based approach: we create, listen, sing, play, and discover how you want to express yourself. The joy of making music is only a few steps away.
