In 2014, she was awarded Music Together Certification Level I by the Center for Music and Young Children in Princeton, NJ. Currently, most of the music she makes is with her two children, but she played organ for 15 years and sang in evensong choirs in college and graduate school.

She has been a member of Delta Omicron International Music Fraternity since 1984.

Ellen Kliman has a B.Mus. from Oberlin Conservatory and an M.Mus. from the University of Maryland. She performs early music, cabaret, opera, operetta, musical theatre and chamber music throughout the Washington area, and can be heard weekly as a section leader and soloist at both All Soul's Episcopal Church in Woodley Park and St. Matthew's Cathedral. Her first love is education - she has spent more than 20 years running a private music studio, where she teaches voice, piano, music appreciation classes and sightreading. She went to her first Music Together class in 2008 with her oldest son, and was hooked right away; she completed Music Together teacher training in 2013, and continues to attend classes with her youngest child.

Jessica Sniffin has a BA in Music with an education focus. She is learning to play guitar and ukulele, but voice is her main instrument. She sings all day, everyday, and is excited to share her love of music as a new Music Together teacher!

Mari Carlson returns to Rockville, her hometown, after 20+ years teaching and performing in Minnesota and Wisconsin.  She’s played violin since age three, never intending to make it a career.  She holds a bachelor’s degree from St Olaf College in religion and a master’s from St Paul’s Seminary in Pastoral Studies.  But music remains her passion and livelihood.  Along with private teaching, she enjoys playing in bluegrass and folk groups as well as classical chamber settings.  Lately, she accompanies her voice with violin chords.  Mari looks forward to sharing music with young families to establish a foundation for lifelong musicality.
