Hi, I’m Phyllis. I’m a Brooklyn mom of two and I teach classes for Baby in Tune. Prior to teaching for Baby in Tune, I worked at J.P. Morgan for 12 years. In 2016, I quit my job in finance to stay at home with my children, leaving open the question of where or when or if I would ever return to work. Four years later during the COVID-19 pandemic, I decided to fill my time in lockdown with a new hobby and I bought a guitar. I learned to play by watching Youtube tutorials and it ended up meeting so many of my needs and wishes – for a new and exciting challenge, for a sense of growth and accomplishment, and as a channel for expression and joy. When Baby in Tune was looking for instructors to teach classes, I knew that it was the right next step for me as I could combine my experience as a mom with my budding interest in music and a heart for supporting parents and families.
I had also taken a Baby in Tune class when I first had a baby, so I knew what a wonderful class it was. I remember being so completely sleep-deprived and anxious for most of my days as a new parent, but for the 45 minutes when I was in class, I felt calm and happy. When I learned that there was an instructor training program, I was excited at the opportunity to re-learn the Baby in Tune method in greater detail and to share this with parents who are beginning this exciting new journey with their babies. In the Fall of 2020, I completed the Baby in Tune instructor training and have been leading classes in-person and online.

Hi there,
I am Stav German, I am a voice teacher and I also teach music to toddlers, kids, and babies. Being a mother myself, I’m in constant search of quality music that will engage and challenge my child.
I believe music helps develop our kid’s mind even when they don’t show interest. Exposure to music from a young age, even while still in the womb, is a significant part of nurture and growth.
