Dara Brown

Dara Brown (they/she) has worn many hats in their life so far, and is always making headspace to wear more. They hold a Bachelor’s of Music in Vocal Performance/Opera from the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music.

They’ve worked in education in many forms since 2013, and they’re so grateful to have found a place to embrace their love of teaching music.

They love play in all its forms, and believe that when we invite ourselves and others to play, we get an opportunity to look at things differently and build exciting communities and worlds together.

When they’re not teaching, Dara loves using their imagination to practice energy work, narrate audiobooks, make up silly songs, and to create all sorts of playful pieces of art. 

They live in Rogers Park with their partner, JJ, and their beautiful angel of a cat, Waffles.
