Our Fours and Fives Music Instructor, taught by Ms. Regina Andrade ("Ms. Gina" as the 

students call her), is a music teacher who has worked musically with young children for over 

30 years. Ms. Gina has taught early childhood music classes for over 23 years and has a warm,

funny, and engaging personality, which draws childre and their parents/caregivers to her.

​

Ms. Gina owns and operates Music Time for Tots. She has always been passionate about music and young children, so she thought, why not combine the two and have the best of both worlds?

​

At an early age, she discovered the great pleasure you can get from making music, and since that time, music has been a big part of her life. She has been involved with young children for a long time and is thrilled to join us at Geneva Day School to bring the love of music into the hearts of students.
