Rhonda has a BA in Music from Wheaton College. After over a decade in Arts Marketing and Public Relations, she transitioned into the role of stay-at-home mom with her three children. She began attending Music Together^® classes with her children in 2005. The experience was so fun and had such a wonderful impact on her family that she decided to become a teacher and was trained and registered by the Center for Music and Young Children in Princeton, New Jersey in 2009.

Since January of 2014, she has loved being the owner and director of Wee Heart Music. In October of 2014, Rhonda was awarded Certification Level I status, having demonstrated outstanding achievement in teaching, musicianship, program philosophy, and parent education. In addition to teaching classes and directing Wee Heart Music, Rhonda is keeper of the family calendar and walker of Ruby, her chocolate lab. She also loves singing and leading worship at church. Her favorite Music Together song is "Hello Everybody"! Thanks to Music Together, Rhonda has found such joy in the combination of teaching, music and children.

Michelle has grown up immersed in music all her life. Beginning as a small child she has participated in choirs and musical theater and still continues to sing for church services and events, and has directed the children's choir at her church. Wanting to share her love of music with her own children, Michelle started bringing her oldest daughter to Music Together classes when she was 4 months old, and has continuously been in a Music Together class for the last 7 years. After leaving a career in sales, and staying at home with her children for several years, Michelle was thrilled when an opportunity came about for her to be able to teach Music Together, which is a perfect fit for her to combine her love of music and children. Michelle became a registered Music Together teacher through the Center for Music and Young Children in Princeton, New Jersey in 2010.

Singing together is Thomas’ passion. Thomas loves helping families find fun in music, and giving children (and adults!) the space to organically “babble” their way to musical competency. Thomas’ music journey began in infancy, when his family kept giving the spare bedroom to music majors who practiced day and night. He spent every spare minute of his childhood singing, humming, whistling, and teaching himself every instrument he could find. He then spent his (far fewer) spare minutes of adulthood directing Catholic masses and joining Irish folk sessions. When he and his wife took a Wee Heart class with their son in 2024, Thomas finally saw a way to achieve his dream of helping others learn to sing together.

In addition to teaching at Wee Heart Music, Thomas also teaches a farmer/handyman/outdoorsman class for homeschooled boys. He enjoys fun facts, simple plays, homemade bread, walkable suburbs, and old people. He doesn’t enjoy low-calorie sweeteners or low-fat milk.
