Alissa Floyd has been singing for as long as she can remember! There is even a tape somewhere of her singing songs from The Beatles’ “Sgt. Pepper” album at three years old… She has been singing in choirs since the age of nine, and currently sings in the Austin Vocal Arts Ensemble. She holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Music Education, and is currently pursuing an Associate’s Degree in Child Development. She taught Junior High and High School choir for three years before moving to Austin, taught 3-year-old preschool classes for three years, and has been teaching Kindermusik since 2010. She is so glad to be teaching Kindermusik, and she hopes to introduce each child to a life-long love of music, whether through singing, dancing, playing, or listening. She loves young children, and gets so excited when she sees the joy in them that comes from making music. Ms. Alissa lives in Cedar Park with her husband, David, son, Nathan, and their two dogs, Rocky and Lucy.
