Anafaith has been an Artist in Residence in theater & music & a Recreation Director.

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

Teacher Holly grew up very shy and in a non-musical family, but fell in love with singing at an early age. Her favorite songs to sing were those of the Disney princesses and characters she would watch with her mom and her sisters. Singing helped build her confidence and quickly became a way to bring joy to her family and friends. From there, Holly joined choirs and lived to perform on stage as a means to escape her innate introverted personality. Music was a way for her to break through her fears and connect with others. It was inspirational and fulfilling in her young life, and she is thankful and honored to share music with the children and families she teaches each week. Holly is currently in her final year of study in music education at San Francisco State University with hopes of continuing on to teach private voice as well as young children. She sings opera mostly, but is embracing other styles outside of her classical music bubble. In addition to her school choirs, Holly currently sings with the San Francisco Symphony Chorus and California Opera Association. Though primarily a vocalist, Holly also plays piano, ukulele, and a little bit of a handful of different instruments as she strives to go more in depth with her music.
