Anafaith is thrilled to be the center director for SF Music Together because she believes in creating musical magic with stories, song & spontaneity. She has taught music, songwriting, theater, guitar & music for over 8 years to children in public schools, recreation centers & non-profits. Anafaith has been an Artist in Residence in theater & music & a Recreation Director.

As a singer/songwriter  she has produced an original CD “ Anatomy of a Relationship” which has received a wonderful response. She has performed her own music all over the SF Bay Area & beyond. Anafaith grew up listening to the Beatles and Joni Mitchell & writing her own music while splashing in the bathtub. She believes that teaching Music Together will inspire more children and parents to sing, splash & dance.

"We love our SF Music Together class! Anafaith is an excellent and engaging teacher and she really brings the music to life with movement, instruments for the kids, and an excellent singing voice. The Music Together® CD is definitely my 9 month old’s favorite music CD because every time I play it at home he claps and screams with joy. I think the classes have really helped my son learn about music and rhythm and I'm really glad I chose these classes with SF Music Together."-Kira, mother of 9 month old son

Nicole started singing before she started talking. Growing up in a rich Celtic and bluegrass scene, she gained a diverse musical background, performing at music festivals from the time she was 9 years old. She took Suzuki violin lessons, participated in fiddle camps, and took formal vocal training as well. Throughout her musical career, she has been involved in various bands, ensembles, musical theatre, and internationally touring choirs. She has professional experience playing weddings and corporate events as well as venues such as Cafe Du Nord and the Rockit Room, and competing in various classical competitions.

Nicole has always loved working with children; she was deeply affected by music as a child, and knows how important it is to give music's gift back to the next generation. Through her work as a children's performer, she gained a clear understanding that children learn music most effectively through playing, which reflects in her teaching style. She has a strong belief that playing music is called "playing" for a reason, and her favorite aspect of teaching is when her student realizes how fun music really is.

"Our 14 months old absolutely LOVES his music class with teacher Nicole! We highly recommend her, she's very talented, has an awesome personality, great energy, with a very professional and well structured class gets the crowd engaged and makes it educational and fun, she has helped our son to build a natural enthusiasm for music. We like the SF Music Together class experience so much that we had Nicole to perform a class at our son's first birthday party with a great success! Definitely a lifetime positive experience for the whole family. "  Elisa P. from yelp

Monica graduated from San Francisco State University with a BA in music in 2006 and has taught both in San Francisco as well as in Brooklyn, NY. Her career focus revolves around community building through children, preferably through the arts, and she loves how Music Together allows her to do just that. She is primarily a vocalist and songwriter, though often accompanies herself on guitar. Monica performs locally in the Latin & Folk genres, and has sang in venues ranging from local cafes to the Yerba Buena Center to Yoshi's, San Francisco. She has been honored to share the stage with artists such as John Calloway, John Santos, Jesus Diaz, David Flores and others. She has also most recently been enjoying teaching at a non-profit community pre-school.

"My son has been in Teacher Monica's class for over a year now (since he was 6 months old) and we both love her!  (Seriously, he has a mad crush).  She is vibrant, enthusiastic, and really connects with the children.  She is really creative in varying the presentation of the songs week to week, and always gives me ideas for things to try at home.  I also appreciate the way she takes time to explain why the songs are structured the way they are, whether its a play on rhythm or melody, variations on loud and soft, fast and slow, or how the 'tones' at the end of songs allow pre-verbal children to access the melodies.  We have a lot of returning families session to session (a testament to her skills as a teacher) which creates a community within the class too.  I can't recommend her classes highly enough!"  - Megan J.
