Danette Martinez has sung in choirs since she was a small child, gained a degree in early childhood education, and taught preschool and daycare for more than 10 years. She uses that experience in her work as a licensed Kindermusik instructor, bringing the time-tested music program to Santa Cruz. During her music classes, children up to age 7 play instruments, sing, and dance, all while learning how to be curious and interact with other kids.
