TERRI PARTYKA, DIRECTOR
Simply Music piano, percussion, Drop-in Drum Circle, and Kids' MusicRound

Director, Terri Partyka is a life-long music lover, and people lover. In elementary school, she decided she wanted to be a percussionist, because of the variety of ways she could make music. The variety thing must have stuck, because she started adding a variety of musical instruments to her repertoire, including double bass, hammered dulcimer, and of course, piano. She has played in various bands and orchestras in the area, including the Metropolitan Symphonic Band, and the Macomb Symphony Orchestra. She started her teaching journey in 1998, as a Kindermusik® educator, teaching early childhood music and movement. While looking for a way to keep music fun and enjoyable for her students, looking to continue their music education, she discovered Simply Music®, in 2006. What she found was an a method of learning music that changed her life and her students' lives, allowing them to be self-generating musicians throughout their music education journey. Ms. Terri believes that music is for everyone, and is always looking for ways to share it.
