Miss Analiisa, Director. Miss Analiisa’s first formal introduction to music was in 6th grade, when she wanted to play the flute in the newly formed 6th grade band. Her father, however, gave her the choice of the two instruments he owned, which were the euphonium, and the valve trombone. She picked the euphonium, which proved fortuitous, because she fell in love with the sound it made. She also discovered that she got to sit in the back of the band, where all the really cute boys played brass and percussion! She attended WWU in Bellingham, with a hiatus to study with the premier Euphonium player in the world back in New York and Washington D.C. With a background in K-12 Music Ed, and a really useful degree in Music Performance, Miss Analiisa moved to Seattle to work at a law firm, having discovered she did not want to be a professional musician in a military band. (Nearly the only paying option for euphonium players.) Since then, she has owned several successful small businesses, and has spent many hours engaging in her passion for writing curriculum and teaching small children and adults alike in a variety of subjects. Miss Analiisa has been married to Karl since 1997, and they have three children whom she homeschools. With the added duties of Owner and Director in 2005, Miss Analiisa is reluctantly taking a break from teaching, but you may see her subbing in the studio. |

Miss Beth grew up in sunny Santa Cruz, California. As common to California girls, Miss Beth took countless years of ballet, tap and jazz dance, so that she could try and be ever so graceful as she was running along the beach. While she was running along the beach one summer, she met her future husband Pat, whom she married in 1993. She graduated from U.C. San Diego in 1991 with a degree in Visual Arts. Miss Beth’s musical background includes piano, voice and marimba. Her love of children led her to work as a nanny and preschool teacher. Miss Beth also received Montessori training and became Montessori certified. When she took her son Tyler to a Kindermusik class, the instructor noticed Miss Beth’s innate understanding and love of children, and how they seemed to flock to her wherever she was. Not surprisingly, she became a Kindermusik Educator in 1999. She also has a strong background in curriculum development, which has been invaluable as she trains and mentors new educators at Studio3Music. In the local community, Miss Beth is known by hundreds of parents as someone who creates a safe and nurturing place to bring their children. She is sought after as an expert in child development. Miss Beth became a partner at Studio3Music in 2007. |

Miss Allison grew up in Cheyenne, Wyoming (that’s why her hair is so messy) where she participated in every musical, and theatrical event that the city had to offer- youth through high school choir, Old Fashioned Melodrama, Shakespeare in the Park, and drama and competitive speech. She graduated from Loretto Heights College in Denver Colorado with a B.F.A. in Musical Theatre and a minor in Directing and an emphasis in Costume Design. (She figured the more she could do the less tables she’d have to wait on.) After graduating she taught music, theatre and dance at the Denver School for Gifted and Creative Students. Miss Allison also did professional work in Dinner Theatre, and non profit theatre organizations in the Denver area. Then lightning struck and totally changed the course of her life- she was cast as Laurie in Oklahoma! opposite Curly, played by a wonderful young scientist who was dabbling in theatre for the summer. Miss Allison and Michael have been married since 1993, and have three marvelous sons. After moving to Washington she returned to the classroom, this time with preschoolers. Another bolt of lightening stuck when she was asked if she’d ever thought of teaching Kindermusik…She hadn’t, but it didn’t take long for the equation to add up to the job that she’d never dreamed existed – the perfect one! She’s been teaching Kindermusik since 2000. Her flexibility in the classroom to adapt curriculum to the needs of the particular children in class is well known. Miss Allison became a partner at Studio3Music in 2007. |
| Miss Colleen Born into a midwestern farm family, Miss Colleen grew up loving both the world around her and music. Her formal music education began at age five. By middle school, an observant choir director recognized a budding accompanist and Colleen discovered the magic that happens when a group of people comes together to create music. From sixth grade through college, Miss Colleen earned her way as an accompanist. (She even snagged one vocal student as a husband!) She earned a degree in piano performance and then took time off to raise four beautiful children. Along the way Miss Colleen opened a piano studio in San Diego, created a music and art appreciation curriculum for middle school students, and directed children’s choirs and musicals. While earning her degree in “motherhood,” she discovered a passion for mentoring young moms through MOPS and Moms In Touch. All of these loves have come together in Kindermusik where music, children, and young families converge! Miss Colleen’s delight in the world has taken her many places, including her favorite venture where she saw the treasures of the Czars in St. Petersburg, Russia. Her latest adventure included a bossy camel and the pyramids of Egypt. Newly transplanted from Seattle to Los Angeles, she finds shelter from the relentless sun exploring the treasures of The Getty Museum! |
