Lindsay Meehan founded Music for Children in Rhode Island in 2011, after six years of working with Mary Ann Hall in Connecticut and New York City. She has taught the program at Moses Brown, Lincoln School and performs throughout the state. Lindsay has degrees in music performance and theatre/dance and has traveled around the world, collecting instruments and songs to enrich her teaching.
Lindsay's connection to Music for Children extends back to when she attended the classes as a child. Lindsay’s mother, Rita Caruso, taught the program with Mary Ann Hall for 35 years (and now co-teaches with Lindsay in Rhode Island). Their students have gone on to become professional musicians and actors, music teachers, and parents... who bring their own children to Music!

Music for Children from Coast to Coast...
Connecticut
Mary Ann Hall began building her program over 40 years ago from her home studio in Norwalk. She and her faculty now teach throughout Fairfield County and across the country, bringing music to thousands of children. Every teacher within the school has an extensive music education and has trained with Mary Ann directly, which is why no matter where you take a class, the curriculum, culture and even language are the same.
