Rosa Elena is excited to be  directing and teaching Music Together and Canta y Baila Conmigo!

Since her early childhood, Rosa Elena has loved to sing, playing guitar along with her very musical family.
She studied music formally at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) in the National School of Music; now Faculty of Music; then came to New England in 2000 and graduated from New England Conservatory with a Masters in Vocal Performance as well as second Master in Vocal Pedagogy with a concentration in Music in Education. She also has Kodaly level II and Music Together and Canta y Baila Conmigo training training. Rosa Elena's 21 years as a teacher in private and public schools has given her experience with different learning abilities and different group sizes.

Teaching music to young children is her passion and she loves to share her culture through music and song.

Will is an enthusiastic Music Together teacher who completed his training in the spring of 2013. A life-long singer, Will brings much musical experience to the classroom and loves making music with families here in his hometown of Arlington.

He has sung with a-cappella groups (Harvard Din & Tonics), rock bands (Adult Children of Heterosexuals), and orchestras (Timberlane Pops) — performing at venues ranging from 54 Below in New York to Scullers Jazz Club in Boston to Yin Par Le Garcon Chinois in Shanghai — wining three IRNE awards from the Independent Reviewers of New England as well as a Broadway World cabaret award as part of the 50th Anniversary performances by the original cast of PIPPIN in 2023 at 54 Below. In a previous life he helped run the Cambridge Center for Adult Education and as a child did musical theater, commercials, voice-overs, and TV movies.

When he’s not leading Music together classes Will writes songs and offers programs of music at retirement communities, coffeehouses, public libraries, synagogues, and memory cafes with pianists Joe Reid and Molly Ruggles
