Music has always been a part of Jill’s life, thanks to her parents, who listened to music all the time while she was growing up. In elementary school, her father introduced her to the theatre by performing in local shows in her hometown of Maplewood NJ. She had an extensive career in Musical Theatre. Upon graduating from high school she landed the role of Peron’s Mistress in Harold Prince’s National Tour of Evita. From there, she went on to star in James Lapine’s Into The Woods as Cinderella and then played the lead role of Fantine in the National Tour of Les Miserables .. and much more. She studied Music at Indiana University School of Music and Boston University.
Jill was introduced to Music Together by a friend when her daughter was an infant in 1998. Jill fell in love with the program and began the journey of becoming a teacher. 2022 marks Jill’s 16th year of teaching Music Together. In addition, Jill works at Strawtown Elementary School in West Nyack. She was the Music Educator at the Shames JCC Preschool in Tarrytown and at The Alcott Montessori School in Dobbs Ferry.
