Your teachers

Ms. Diana Davidson, owner and lead teacher at Songbirds Music
Ms. Diana
Owner, founder & Head Mama Bird
Mama. Patient. Gentle.

Hello and hola. A former bilingual elementary school teacher turned early childhood music specialist and mama bird. Although she is an introvert, Diana is serious about being silly, and she loves sitting on the floor with little ones and their grown-ups, tapping to the beat and sharing why music is a basic life skill.

She is a proud mama to her two girls, her husband, and a poodle named Fozzie. Fanatical about Flamenco, she loves traveling and stand-up comedy, and believes most of life's lessons can be learned on Sesame Street. ¡Ole!
