TEACHERS
“I am so grateful for the opportunity to create a program that combines my two greatest loves– music and children.
Nothing thrills me more than to see a child light up when they hear music – except maybe seeing a whole room full of them!”
AMY CHIN
FOUNDER & TEACHER
Sound Play is the culmination of over 20 years of professional performing and teaching experiences. After graduating from the Boston Conservatory with a Master’s degree in Music, I performed professionally in Boston and New York for many years; choir directing, music directing, and teaching all ages- from young families to adults- along the way.
Now that I am the mom of two boys, I have the privilege of watching them experiment with music: composing on various instruments (and digital devices!), making up new lyrics to favorite tunes, and breaking out into silly dance parties. Music is a natural part of our home life, and it is my hope to inspire other families to make it part of theirs as well.
More and more scientific studies are showing what most parents already know- that music is beneficial to many areas of children’s growth and development. Music also builds community, bringing people of all ages together in the pursuit of joy and beauty. My greatest wish is to build a community of people who simply want to share the joy of making music together; with the added benefit of witnessing our children grow and learn alongside us.”
