Ms. Kenna

Makenna has been involved in music her whole life! Coming from a musical family, she had music classes as a toddler, many years of piano lessons and even taught piano for 5 years! Throughout high school, Makenna played violin, piano and sang in choirs, with a variety of choral and instrumental performances, from solos in Handel’s Messiah to a family performance before an orchestral concert.

Makenna currently works as the vocal director for Spotlight Youth Productions where she teaches children from 2^nd-8^th grade to sing, read musical notation and to perform in musical theatre shows, such as their spring rendition of Frozen, a Disney classic.  She is also pursuing her degree in music education at the University of Arizona, with an emphasis in voice and early childhood.

Makenna brings passion, knowledge and years of experience to her work with children of all ages. As eldest of four children and a large extended family, Makenna learned from a young age how to engage and interact with young children from her mother, an early childhood specialist.  As Makenna says, my mom taught me everything she knows!

A captivating storyteller with a beautiful singing voice, Makenna has been delighting the children in her Kindermusik classes this spring. Makenna is excited to teach Kindermusik for Musical Steps and get to know all of the families and children involved.
