Education & Musical Background
"Miss" Lindsay performed in musicals beginning at the age of ten
(age 4, if you count singing "High Hopes" in front of an audience
at a resort in Michigan) and graduated from Northgate High
School at the top of her class. She then studied Vocal
Performance at Northwestern University's renowned School of
Music and graduated cum laude with a degree in Education.
Lindsay completed her Master's degree in Education in 2005.
She is proud to continue her Kindermusik education by attending
and speaking at Kindermusik training events on a regular basis
and feels very fortunate to have attracted a staff that is equally
committed to professional development.
Lindsay maintains an active connection to the world of the
performing arts by participating in live theatre. In 2007, she held
featured roles in three award-nominated productions: the farce
"Drop Dead!" with Antioch Rivertown Theatre (nominated for
several Shellie Awards), "The Music Man" with Diablo Light Opera
Company (nominated for several Shellies and the Bay Area
Critics Circle Awards "Best Production - Musical" & "Best
Ensemble - Musical"), and the Sondheim masterpiece "Into the
Woods" with CTA Crossroads Theatre (nominated in every
category of the Bay Area Critics Circle Awards!) Lindsay is proud
to have worked and studied with Bay Area musical theatre
legends Claire Yarrington, Jeffrey Bihr, Barrett Lindsay-
Steiner, and Paul Plain as well as Broadway singer/actress
Jodie Langel, Broadway Music Director Kim Steiner, and
world-renowned musical director Michael Lavine. Lindsay has
also studied voice, ballet, jazz, tap, and acting at California
Theatre Arts in Walnut Creek.
Teaching Background
Lindsay has taught music, drama, reading, math, and literature
to students newborn - 85 years of age. Her first teaching job
involved producing musical variety shows at a camp for senior
citizens. She then went on to run a childcare center for the
YMCA, tutor students at her synagogue in tefillot (prayers,
usually sung) and trope (the Torah's musical notation system),
and student-taught 9th, 11th, and 12th grade English during her
California State Teacher Credential Program. Finally, for the past
seven years, Lindsay has been teaching high-quality,
developmentally-appropriate music classes to children and their
families throughout the Bay Area. She looks forward to meeting
YOU and your little one soon!

What Parents Say...
"Miss Lindsay is truly wonderful!! She loves each and every child/ baby and delights in seeing them interact with music." - Village parent "Miss Lindsay was the best part of the class! She engages the children and makes it so fun for the kids and parents." - Our Time parent "Miss Lindsay is more than a music teacher...She is an important part of the lives of the children she teaches. She brings such a passion to teaching - the kids feel it and light up around her." - Imagine That! parent "Miss Lindsay sounds like a Disney Princess!" - Young Child parent "I want to let you know how much Roxy and Grandma Carolyn are enjoying and benefiting from Kindermusik. I can see Roxy developing in many exciting ways. She LOVES the CD and the book. In fact, she demands to read The Rhythm of My Day about 15 times a day. She sways, twirls, bounces, and claps regularly to music, and a new development is that she sings notes and waits for us to mimic her, instead of us singing first and her matching our pitch. She's taking the lead! I worked on minor thirds with her last week and will dance with her to syncopated rhythms this week. This has also been a bonding experience for Roxy and Grandma. Thanks for the class and the emails!" - Village, Our Time, & Imagine That! parent |
