Athena Schmelzer

Athena Schmelzer has a special talent for bonding with toddlers through fun musical activities. Her classes are filled with beaming smiles as the little ones gleefully sing classic nursery rhymes, and dance with scarves and instruments. Athena makes every lesson focused on toddler development an absolute joy.

Though only in high school, Athena brings impressive musical talent cultivated over 10+ years of piano playing. She expertly instructs the basics – rhythm, melody, singing on pitch, and body movement. Most importantly, Athena has a natural warmth and knack for child development that keeps little ones delighted and engaged as they learn.

Athena hits that magical sweet spot between nurturing positive early experiences with music through warmth and encouragement, while also instructing age-appropriate motor, cognitive, and communication skills. Toddlers just light up as they make music with new friends.

When it comes to gifted toddler teachers responsive to young children’s needs, Athena is as good as it gets. Students in her playful, caring classes thrive, growing their self-expression, social skills, love of music, and more. K&M Music school is thrilled to have her building the foundation for the next generation of musicians!
