Patti Papworth

Patti Papworth, a Music Together instructor for Little Steps Music, has been involved in music throughout her life. She holds a B.A. degree in vocal performance from Utah State University, is an accomplished classical and jazz musician, and frequently performs in musical theater. Patti successfully completed the Music Together Teaching Workshop, developed by the Center for Music And Young Children in Princeton, NJ, in 2000.

Patti has been teaching Music Together since 1999 and enjoys working with young children. In addition to teaching Music Together, Patti maintains a private piano and voice studio, and instructs the Children's Theatre Program at the McLean Community Center in Virginia.

Recently, Patti performed with the jazz combo at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Tysons Corner and was seen in the Alden Theatre production of HONK! in McLean, Virginia. She has also held starring roles in local offerings of The Sound of Music, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, The Secret Garden, Into the Woods, and Cinderella.

Families who participate in Music Together classes with Patti really enjoy her energy and style. One parent commented, "We have been fortunate enough to have Miss Patti as Sophia’s instructor for both sessions. She is a true natural at teaching and working with young children. Her beautiful voice, great attitude and warm smile make every child in the room truly enjoy this program and ultimately have a love for the art of music. Since beginning the class several months ago, my husband and I cannot get into a vehicle without Sophia asking us to put in her favorite Music Together CD. We cannot ignore her attempts at singing songs before and after her naps or when playing. This just makes us smile."
