Betsy Gurske, Kindermusik, Piano, Special Needs Children

On a "picnic" in Imagine That!
With a program recognized in the top 5% by Kindermusik International, Betsy has loved sharing musical connections with the children of Charlotte for over 19 years. In addition to running her Kindermusik business, she teaches piano, and works on various music projects close to her heart. These include work at Hemby Children's hospital and the creation of a fun musical jam class with her husband John for Oakhaven residential care home for adolescents.

She received her Bachelor of Music degree from the State University of New York in applied clarinet and music therapy. Following graduation, she worked as a graduate student at the University of Wisconsin School of Music where she taught music appreciation.   Following, she spent 3 years doing music programs in geriatric settings while teaching private piano and clarinet.

Later,  becoming a licensed Kindermusik educator, she became director of Queens College Kindermusik, the oldest program in the Charlotte area and begun by the current director of education at Kindermusik International.  

She and her husband John created "music.4.life" in the Fall of 2009 with colleagues and friends they have known many years.
