My name is Marianna H. Wise. I am originally from Hungary and have been living in the USA for 19 years. I am married and have 2 children.

Music has been a part of my life since childhood. As a child I enjoyed ballet classes and loved it very much.  I was accepted to a special music school, where I learned to play the piano for 10 years. I performed regularly in concerts and accompanied the chorus.

 I have my BA in early childhood education; my majors were child psychology and music. My dream was to teach and educate children. Now I have 22 years of experience working with children from infancy to kindergarten, and I have enjoyed every moment of my career. I have worked as both a lead teacher and assistant director in Bethesda for many years and also at the World Bank Children’s Center in Washington D.C.

I joined the Music Together^® Staff in June 2005 after successfully completing the training with the Center for Music and Young Children in Princeton, NY.  I teach in the both the preschool setting and parent-children classes as well.

 The Music Together^® Program is  designed for children from birth through kindergarten experiencing music and movement together with their parents/caregivers. The learning is based on the premise that all children are musical and have the same innate ability to learn music as a language.

I love to listen to music. Music plays a big part in my life and I am exited to share and teach children and their families every day.
