Alongside her life as a musician, Meagan is a certified Montessori teacher with the Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) in the Netherlands.

Her Montessori education has been an important influence on the way she understands children, learning and the role of the educator.

She completed her Birth to 3 certification with Vibuthi Jain, her 3 to 6 certification with Zarin Malva, her Assistant 6 to 12 certification with Alison Awes, and her Montessori Sports certification with Jip Bartels.

The Montessori perspective has given Meagan a deeper understanding of the importance of observation, independence, movement, concentration and following the child. These principles naturally find their way into her musical teaching.

For Meagan, the Montessori philosophy and music education complement one another beautifully. Both ask the educator to observe carefully, offer the right environment and allow the learner to develop with confidence and purpose.

Her work as a Montessorian continues to shape not only how she teaches music, but how she sees the child behind the musician.

Meagan currently homeschools her six year old son Shalom and her nine month old daughter Selah weaving Montessori principles into their days together, from everyday learning to the music they explore as a family together.
