Classically trained in piano and composition in Ireland,

Celine spent 15 years in New York.  It was while teaching

an informal music programme for children there that she

began to realise how musically responsive all very young

children are, and how quickly they can learn melodies and

rhythm.  Celine went on to study Orff Schulwerk in New

York, an approach to music education for children.  Working

with her own compositions and traditional songs from

around the world, and using small percussive instruments

and fun props Celine set up and developed Little Larks.
