All of our teachers are passionate about music—and more importantly
about supporting your child's musical journey. During their classes,
they create a fun, informal, musically rich social setting that supports
the varied learning styles of both children and adults. All of our
teachers have successfully completed the three-day Music Together® teacher training workshop developed by the Center for Music and Young Children®, Princeton, New Jersey.

Susana Fox
Born and raised in Colombia, South America, Susana studied Dramatic Arts and Dance and worked there for 8 years as an actress and dancer in television and theatre. Susu, as friends and family call her, came to Miami 9 years ago and worked in local theater for a year. She then began her studies at NAMC (North American Montessori Center) and graduated with a degree in Preschool/Kindergarten Montessori. Susana created "Luca Design" where she makes wall art for children.
Music Together became a part of Susu's family six years ago when she began to bring her daughters, Canela, and then Lucia to class. Susana decided to become a Registered teacher because she feels that Music Together brings together the perfect combination of expression, creativity, and love for music and children.
