I am a self-taught musician. I have been singing and writing songs from the time I was 10 years old.  I graduated from Cornell University 1996. There I studied Pre-Med, played four years of Division 1 soccer, and sang the national anthem at sporting events. Unfortunately, when I graduated Cornell, I was disheartened. I wanted to make a difference both scientifically and creatively. I was determined to find a way to bring these two sides of myself together.

I moved to Manhattan and went to NYU Physical Therapy school during the day and sang my own songs in clubs at night.  I graduated from PT school and completed a dance music CD in 2006 called Becoming. At this point, music became my life. A developmental deal with Sony records and other music labels were on the horizon.  I absolutely loved writing and recording but performing was a difficult task. My severe stage fright was holding me back from musical success. I had to learn to relax in front of an audience so I decided the best way to do that was to practice in front of children.

In, 2007, I began my music education for children in NYC through a course called Music Together. My fears were suffocated and I was rejuvenated by the response the kids had to me. Everything felt natural. I finally felt calm I had found my calling. I began to write music that would appeal to both children and adults.

After completing my training, I was offered to own my own Music Together franchise in Greenwich Village. I declined because I wanted to write and teach my own music.  I began to write my own curriculum.  Two years later, Me and You Music by Keri Wirth debuted on the Lower East Side. There must have been a need for a music class that was more contemporary because within three weeks, catapulted from 7 mommies to 20!!

In 2010, I was hired through Winthrop University Hospital to teach Me and You Music by Keri Wirth at Destination Maternity. I then became the music teacher at the following schools: Greentrees School and Camp in Syosset, Cold Spring Harbor Nursery School, Ann Brower Nursery school in Huntington and Temple Beth Torah Preschool in Melville. I have expanded my program to include birthday parties, concerts and musical playdates. Musical playdates are private classes at the location of your choice with family and friends. They have become a popular part of my routine.

I am proud to say, I have finally found what I am supposed to be doing. The belief to do what you love and love what you do is possible. I hope my passion is contagious.
