Lori Handler

With her mother on the piano and her father on the guitar, it was always “a moo-moo here, and a quack-quack there” for Lori Handler. As early as age 10, Lori knew she wanted to be a music teacher. She received her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Music Education and taught elementary school music for over ten years in New York. But then…..Lexi and Jesse came along! In 2001, when her daughter was only a few months old, Lori began taking Music Together. She found the program to be so enriching, both as a mother and as a musician, that the decision to become a teacher was quite natural. She and her family have recently moved from New York and have finally unpacked their last box, leaving her with some free time. Having never quite abandoned the kid in her, Lori is enthusiastic to be teaching again because it gives her a great excuse to get down on the floor, sing and play. Who knows? You may even see her moo-mooing and quack-quacking again!
