Bevin Fernandez was raised on the Peninsula in a music-loving family. At the age of three, she started ballet classes with the South San Francisco Civic Ballet. Rehearsing and performing with Bay Area companies was a highlight of her childhood that lead to a dedication and practice which continues to this day. She also began teaching ballet to young children by the time she was fifteen.

At the age of six, a special delivery which she thought was a tree-house, ended up being a piano. This was to her dismay at the time but that faded and led to mastering classical sonatas, blues pieces, and old standards to play for her grandmother. In fourth grade Bevin picked up the oboe - to the surprise of the school's band director - and throughout her school years played in award-winning symphonic bands, chamber ensembles with the oboe and jazz band on the piano. Bevin went on to receive a B.A. in Sociology at the University of California

In San Francisco, she was introduced to Music Together as a nanny and experienced first-hand what a special program it is. With a personal knowledge of the innumerable benefits of early exposure to creative and performing arts, Bevin is excited to share her knowledge, experience and love of it with her class. She will be our first teacher who plays the ukelele!

As a child he played piano, violin and saxophone, and sang. While studying at Brown University, Daniel performed in a jazz big-band and a latin jazz septet, playing alto and soprano saxophones. Daniel currently studies piano, voice, composing and arranging with Michael Smolens, and vocal technique with Jane Sharp. He sings in a vocal jazz ensemble class at The Jazz School in Berkeley, directed by Greg Murai, and is the newest member of “the bay area's most out-of-the-box professional vocal group,” The Mirabai Ensemble. He holds twice-monthly circle singing gatherings at his home called “Song Soup,” in which a group of people improvise word-less songs together. He also plays guitar, and enjoys songwriting and Beatles sing-alongs! He is a registered Music Together teacher.
