Priscilla Carmichael
Center Director

Priscilla studied voice at Oberlin Conservatory, where she also received a minor in dance, along with an English major from Oberlin College. Priscilla moved to Japan ten years ago, where she has worked as a professional teacher, incorporating music and movement into children's English classes. Her interest in quality music education for young children in Japan became more personal when she became a mother of two. Inspired by the positive experience she had with her own daughter participating in East Bay Music Together (California, USA), she returned to the US in 2002 to train at the Center for Music and Young Children®, and became a registered Music Together® teacher.

Angela Wolfgang
Teacher

Angela has been teaching children music in the US and Japan for six years. After graduating from Penn State University with a bachelor's degree in Music Education, Angela taught elementary music in the Pennsylvania public schools for two years. Angela then attended the Eastman School of Music in New York and graduated with a Master of Music in Music Education in 2006. While attending graduate school, Angela taught music in New York, and was the Director of Music for a local church. Two years ago, Angela moved to Japan with her sister to pursue her career in music. She has worked as both an English and music teacher in Japan at the international school elementary level.

Angela has loved to play the piano, sing and dance all her life. She has fond memories of making music with her family when she was young and understands the importance of parental involvement in a child's musical development. Angela loves using theories she learned about how children learn music in her real life classroom. The most enjoyable part of teaching music, is seeing the beautiful results! Angela feels the Music Together program offers a very special opportunity for parents and children to bond in their music making, encouraging and developing in new ways together. She is so excited to have found a quality program that is based on the latest educational research, where she can interact with both children and adults.
