Meet Miss Meresa

Here’s a little bit about our delightful newest Kindermusik Educator, Miss Meresa, who will be teaching in Edmonds for us next year. For you Miss Katie fans, Miss Meresa and Miss Katie share the same voice teacher, which is how we found her. You’re going to love her!

Miss Meresa was born and raised in the Seattle area and has been singing and dancing as long as she can remember.  Her Mother says she just, “came out that way,” and it’s no wonder with so many of her musical family members surrounding her.

She grew up singing at church and school, as well as, taking countless tap, ballet, and other dance classes.  She also developed a great love for acting at a young age and pursued all three of these endeavors especially in her time at Mountlake Terrace High School.

Miss Meresa continued this theme by studying Vocal Performance at Seattle Pacific University, where she received her B.A. in Music.  After a little time off, she decided to do her own version of grad school and shipped herself off to Los Angeles to study music, theater, and dance at The American Musical and Dramatic Academy.

Miss Meresa also spent many hours during this time babysitting and helping out in her Mother’s Pre-K classroom where she realized her knack for working with children and her delight in nurturing and observing their development.  Miss Meresa discovered Kindermusik and, voila!  A great way to combine her love for music and children was realized.
