Mandi Galer
Mandi Galer began her musical career at the age of 6, studying piano with the Royal Conservatory of Music. In search of her niche in music, she picked up the trombone at the age of 12. At 13, she discovered Cawthra Park, Mississauga’s well-known performing arts school. Still not settled on her musical calling, she decided to audition as a vocalist. With her acceptance into the school’s jazz vocal program, Mandi discovered her true gift in music. She then went on to earn her diploma, with honours, in Humber College’s music program, learning everything she could from the amazing array of talented musicians and teachers at the school. After college, Mandi continued down her musical path, taking on a full roster of private voice and piano students as well as performing and writing with many talented, local musicians and eventually forming and managing her own duo/band, Lava. But it was not enough. Mandi wanted to give more back to the community.
Mandi recognized the need for more musicians educating young children in music. Most musicians teach at a higher level of education, which leaves our very young children at a disadvantage, often being taught by educators with a basic knowledge of music. So, Mandi diligently researched children’s music programs and discovered Kindermusik, which was exactly what she was looking for. She obtained her Kindermusik license and after many ups and downs and twists and turns, Mandi founded Sing Music Studio in 2006.
Now, Mandi, better known today as “Miss Mandi”, has been honoured with Kindermusik Maestro status for the past 3 years, continues to perform and write music with Lava, recently joined an 8 piece motown/R&B/funk band, Fik-Tiv Kin, is a member of the Ontario Registered Music Teacher’s Association and could not be happier or more thankful for being able to share her passion for music with children of all ages.
Natalie Rodrigues
Natalie Rodrigues’ musical journey began more than thirty years ago. From singing and playing the piano, French horn and trumpet as a young child, to presently performing as a semi-professional vocal soloist and choir director, Miss Natalie has spent her lifetime immersed in music. Her love of children and teaching, experienced through the joys of new motherhood and as a teaching assistant for 10 years and director of a youth band and choir, combined with her love of music, made becoming a Kindermusik educator a very natural fit. Having had the benefit of being raised in a musical family, Miss Natalie knows first-hand the invaluable role early exposure to music can play throughout one’s lifetime. She looks forward to sharing in your child’s musical journey with you.
