Welcome to PreSchool Music!!

Hello parents, My name is Ms. Leslie and I will be your child’s music teacher for the year. In music class, your child will be given the opportunity to play many different instruments; drums, piano, guitar, bells, etc. We’ll work on the basics of music like beat and rhythm, dynamics and tempo. We’ll work on spatial awareness while we dance and move throughout the classroom. My puppet, Milo, and I look forward to a fun music- filled year with all the students here at our school.

About Me

I have been teaching here in North Bergen since 2006. I earned my BA in Music Education and a Masters Degree in Early Childhood Education, both at Montclair State University.
I grew up in southern New Jersey between the Pine Barons and the blueberry, corn, and peach fields. I attended Winslow Twp High School (then Edgewood Regional) where my favorite subjects were band and math.
Outside of school, my days are spent with my husband, 4 sons, 2 daughters and our dog, Ryder. We like to go camping, take trips, go to the beach, ride our bikes, dance to all sorts of music, and watch nature shows.
