Zach has been teaching for Greensleeves since 2015 and is a popular and dedicated piano and drum instructor.

Zach graduated from West Chester University in 2017 with a degree in music theory and composition. He plans to pursue his PhD in music theory and cognition in the coming years. Until then, he is reading and researching how people listen to and process music. He says, “Regardless of one’s musical background, everyone has certain expectations and biases of music, which lead to emotional releases when music is heard. In short, music has the ability to create emotions for the listener, and I plan on studying how and why this happens. I definitely recommend checking out some literature on music and the brain, especially for parents of musicians!”

Katelyn’s fun personality and passion for teaching encourages students to explore and create through music. Since joining Greensleeves in February 2017, she has inspired many young musicians with her can-do attitude, believing that there is music in everyone.   

Emily joined the Greensleeves teaching team earlier this year with a degree in Music Education and current enrollment in a Master's in Music Therapy program. She hit the ground running and has steadily grown her student base throughout Chester County. 

Todd joined Greensleeves in 2017 and has been teaching piano throughout the area since.

Just recently, Todd graduated from West Chester University with a Master’s degree in piano performance. He has taken the next year off from school to teach and prepare for auditions to get his doctorate. Part of that is learning a ton of new music, including Beethoven, Chopin, Liszt and Ginastera and then listening to a wide variety of music, primarily from the 60s and 70s but also modern rock, indie and hip hop. His dream job is to one day be a university professor and so each day spent practicing, teaching and learning helps him strive for this goal.

We had two wonderful days of recitals on Sunday, June 3rd at The Garage Youth Center in Kennett Square and Saturday, June 16th at Jacob's Music in West Chester. Students played classical, jazz, pop, traditional and original tunes on a wide variety of instruments. We had many long-time Greensleeves students perform, as well as lots of beginners and everyone sounded fantastic!
