Georgia Wade has been involved with music and education her whole life. She has an extensive vocal performing background, and worked as an elementary school teacher, para educator, and volunteer after receiving a BA in History from UC Davis. Georgia taught Music Together for two years in Marin when her children were babies; and upon moving back to Davis in 2014, she enrolled in our classes and subbed whenever needed. She subsequently opened her own center in Sacramento, becoming teacher and director of Two Rivers Music Together for several years. She was excited to begin teaching all of our mixed-age family classes at PTDW in the fall of 2023, sharing her fabulous energy, beautiful voice, creativity, and guitar skills with families in our community; and as of fall '24, Georgia is the new director of Music Together of Davis!

Karen Crane founded Music Together of Davis in January of 2003. Passionate about music and dance from a young age, Karen began playing the accordion in elementary school (a traveling salesman from a local accordion school knocked on her parents' door, and the rest is history!). She later took organ lessons, as well as tap and ballet classes. As an adult she has sung and performed for many years in community choruses, and currently is a member of the Davis Chorale.

Karen received her MSW from UC Berkeley, and has extensive experience organizing social, educational, and community service programs. She became inspired by Music Together's innovative approach to early childhood music education while attending classes in Berkeley with her infant daughter, Molly. Karen completed her training in the summer of 2002, becoming a registered Music Together teacher and licensed center director. In 2009 Karen was awarded Music Together Certification Level I by the Center for Music and Young Children in Princeton, NJ, for outstanding achievement in teaching, musicianship, program philosophy, and parent education.

In addition to teaching Music Together's Mixed-Age and Preschool classes, Karen also is trained in the specialized curricula for Babies, Rhythm Kids^® and Sing Shalom. As of Fall 2024, she is teaching the Music Together curriculum at the Gan Haverim Preschool (at Congregation Bet Haverim in Davis). Molly, now a college grad, works as a nanny.
