In the past 9 years, Teresa has worked with all age groups teaching music classes, private voice, flute, recorder, ukelele & guitar lessons. She has presented programs throughout the North Shore at schools & libraries.

In 2006, Teresa fell in love with the Music Together program for its philosophy, educational content and overall quality level.

Recognizing the importance of music in her own child’s life, she realized that the North Shore was in need of a quality music & movement program lead by an accomplished professional musician and brought the Music Together classes to Salem. In 2008, she was invited by the previous director to join the Music Together of Marblehead, as a director and teacher.

Growing up in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Teresa started singing and making music in her teens. While in Rio, she has been professionally involved in choirs both as a singer and conductor, performed and contributed to the music direction of few awarded children’s theater plays (Brincando com Fogo & Capitaes D’Areia), was a sought-after singer & flute player, performed with several music groups in Rio de Janeiro exploring elements of both the traditional Brazilian music and jazz styles.
