Music
Tom Holmes, music teacher (also a Redeemer parent) plays music with our children in both the morning and afternoon programs. Following music studies at College of Marin, Tom studied voice at the Judy Davis vocal school for five years and completed the audio engineering program at San Francisco State. As a performer, Tom is a singer and plays a number of instruments including guitar, drums, percussion and keyboards. Tom believes music is an essential component of education which can enhance other areas of learning. At Redeemer, he regularly mixes up the children’s songs to show different tempo and feel, and plays a variety of musical instruments in their native style, including mandolin, ukulele, native American flute, and kalimba (thumb piano).
Guest music teachers Miss Kitty and Deirtre Eagon (Irish harp) also perform a few time during the school year.
